The question

What is the ruling on a retirement pension obtained through an inaccurate medical report describing "acute psychotic disorder," knowing that its recipient was psychologically exhausted, not ill, and wishes to dispose of it to obtain lawful social assistance? Is this pension considered "ghulul" (unlawful taking from public funds)?

The answer

It is not known how the questioner definitively stated that the medical report by which he obtained retirement is incorrect, even though it appears from the question that it is correct, and the specialist doctor is responsible for that. The questioner has cleared his conscience by writing to his former employer, and the continuation of the salary means that there is no need for embarrassment. The questioner should be alerted that his doubt about his salary might be a symptom of the psychological illnesses he suffers from, and he should be gentle with himself.
