The answer

It is not permissible to register a wife as an employee in private sector companies to obtain government support without actual work, because this is considered a trick to take money unlawfully, and it is a form of consuming wealth through falsehood. The conditions for entitlement to government support must be examined. If they are genuinely met by the wife, there is no objection to registering her in a company whose work is permissible, provided that she is a real employee and not just a pretense, while avoiding registration in prohibited companies such as usurious banks. A private employee is entitled to wages if they make themselves available to the employer, even if there is not always work available.
