Can he lie about his age in order to get a pension?
Question I want to retire from my job with a government-owned company, but I am a few years too young to retire, which means I cannot retire now. But I see some of my colleagues who are the same age as me or younger, and they go to the governmental medical committee and ask them…
Question
Praise be to Allah.
So long as a person knows what his age is, he has no right to
tell anyone anything different, whether he is the one who says it or it is
done via a committee or official. None of that is permissible, because it is
lying.
If the official wants to help you to retire, based on reasons
that you have, there is nothing wrong with that, so long as it does not
involve any lying about your age.
And Allaah knows
best.
