Disability Benefits

Assalaamu alaikum WA rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Please guide me in the following matter.

I have been sick and disabled for the last 3 years. The US government pays me disability income every month. The government also pays retirement benefits when you retire. I am concerned whether these benefits are allowed for a Muslim.

Jazakallaah

الجواب وبالله التوفيق

As per the situation described in your question it is permissible for you to receive the benefits offered by the Government.

واللہ اعلم  بالصواب
