Is it permissible for the father of a girl to falsify her disability papers to obtain financial aid designated for those with a disability in the right hand, when her disability is in the left hand, and is the money taken permissible or forbidden?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to forge or defraud the state to obtain assistance designated for the disabled in the right hand, due to Allah Almighty's saying: "And shun false statements" (Quran 22:30), and due to what is narrated in the prophetic hadiths considering it among the major sins. A Muslim must be keen to seek what is lawful and avoid doubtful matters.
