Question

I get schooling allowance for my kids from my company. Let say 1000. But actual fee is only 100 because the school is not of good standard. For that reason i have to send my kid for special private tuition which cost me 300 which is not entertained by company. transportation fee is covered but i do not claim because my house is near to school my kid goes by walk. The question is can I submit fake transportaion bill, once claimed i want to cover private tuition fee. Note all these expenses are within the range the company offers me that is 1000.

Answer

Islam forbids deception and speaking lies.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
