Receiving foreigner's allowance

Q 2: When I was a student, I used to receive a travel allowance, as I came from my town that is 15 km away from the city where the school is. I proved this in an official report, as I had no one to support me in the city of the school. However, I changed (Part No. 23; Page No. 455) the distance in the report from 15 km to 22 km. What is the ruling on this? Given that I live 15 km away from this city, and there is no one to support me there, as previously mentioned.

A: It is impermissible to do this, as it is considered lying and fraud. You should give this money you took as a Sadaqah (voluntary charity), while performing Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and not do this again.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
