Government reimbursement

· 21 Jumada II 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

In the country where I live, if you are a working person, the government will send you tax every three months without you asking for it. Is this money halaal?

Answer

If the government is reimbursing you then it is permissible to receive the reimbursement.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
