Is it lawful to take welfare from non-Muslim governments : Muslim families who use government welfare
Fatawa Question
The other day I was in a local grocery store. I noticed a Muslim man with his wife dressed in the typical Islamic / Middle Eastern clothing. When they paid for their food they used WIC, social assistance. I thought that Allah looked down upon beggars. Additionally do you think that non Islamic American tax payers should be burdened by Muslim men, women and children ? From what I read, the Koran, States. "Take not a friend from the disbelievers," but it is apparently okay for Muslims to take our welfare.
