The cannot definitively determine whether the scholarship student is entitled to the married persons' allowance if his wife is not with him, due to not being aware of the conditions for entitlement to this allowance. The questioner must refer to the scholarship's conditions. If he is not entitled to it, then he has no right to it, even if his economic circumstances are difficult, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions."
