Is it permissible to receive a disability pension?

Question:

My Husband has health problems like Rheumatism, back discopathie and Bowel disorder. We live in a country in Europe. He made an insurance request of invalidity because he can’t work, is this Halal?

Answer:

If your husband is genuinely ill and qualifies for an invalidity pension according to the law in your country then this is halal. Make sure you don’t lie or give false information in your application.
