Question
Peace and blessing! I have an apartment in the southern part of Israel. However, I reside in the center. These days, grants are being given by the state to the residents of the south. Is it permissible for me to declare that I live in Ashkelon and thereby steal from the state, which believes that I live there? Also, is it permissible through this to receive an exemption from the municipality tax and the like? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to steal, and it is forbidden to lie.
