Is money received from treatment assistance considered lawful, given that medical documents not conforming to reality were submitted?
It is not permissible for an employee to submit incorrect documents to obtain the costs of his wife's treatment if the employer does not cover them. This is considered forgery and forbidden deception. However, if the employer does cover the costs of the wife's treatment, then the employee may obtain these costs, but it is not permissible for him to submit incorrect documents for the details of the treatment, such as submitting documents for operations that his wife did not undergo. This is considered forbidden lying. A condition for the permissibility of obtaining the money is that the ministry has not stipulated covering only the costs of operations and nothing else; otherwise, the money would be unlawful.
