The answer

What you asked about has two scenarios:

1. If the regulations permit the person who received the grant to work while the salary continues, then there is no objection to her benefiting from the salary, as it is a gift from the state. 2. If the regulations stipulate that the salary is not due when working elsewhere, then it is not permissible for her to take it except in cases of extreme necessity that permit the forbidden, such as being threatened with perishing.
