Dought&clear, - Can he lie about his age in order to take early retirement?

I work for the Aramco company, which has an early retirement program for those who reached the age of fifty, and they get free medical treatment for life. Is it permissible to change my age by applying to the civil records department, without paying any money or giving a specific age, but with the aim of getting free medical treatment, because if I retire before fifty, there is no medical treatment?
Praise be to Allah.
It is not permissible to lie about one’s age in order to get the free medical treatment offered by the company. This comes under the heading of lying and deceit, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever deceives us is not one of us.” Narrated by Muslim, 101.
And he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Beware of lying, for lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. A man may continue to tell lies and endeavour to tell lies, until he is recorded with Allaah as a liar.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6094; Muslim, 2607.
What the believer must do is be sincere in word and deed. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):“O you who believe! Fear Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds)” [at-Tawbah 9:119].
And Allah knows best.

If we see a beautiful picture painted on good canvas, do we not think that an artist produced it? If we see an automatic machine, regularly manufacturing articles, are we not led to think that there is an engineer who made, designed and invented its system? If we see a book written in any scientific field, surely we are aware that an author wrote it? Surely the picture could not have been created without an artist! Surely the machine could not work without an engineer! Surely the book could not be written without an author! Is it possible to say that this book in your hand was written by chance? Would you believe it if someone told you that it happened that the paper was scattered by wind, and ink was spilt on it, and thus the book was written? Basic human sense does not believe such a supposition but rather, makes fun of it. Thus everything needs a maker or a creator; nothing can come into existence without there being an originator: the creator. Look at the sky and do you not wonder how the bright and beautiful sun sends down its light and heat to the people on earth? Look at the land upon which we live and ask how do plants grow on it? Look at the water we drink, the air we breathe; the sun when it sets and the night when it comes; then, look at the beautiful stars which are impossible to count, and the light of the moon. Look, and then think how these wonders were created and who then created them? Are they created by themselves or do they have a creator who made them? They are as in need of a maker or a creator, as a house which needs a builder to be built; or a chair, on which we sit, needs a carpenter to be made; or a picture needs an artist in order to be painted, or a book needs an author to be written. And certainly Allah is their Creator and Maker Who created everything. Let us ponder about ourselves and our bodies, and ask: Who created us in this unique way? Who gave us two eyes with which to see? And the tongue with which we talk? And two hands with which we work? And two legs with which we walk? And two ears with which we hear? Who created the food we eat and the water we drink? Not the farmer who cultivated the crops or the plumber who connected the pipes. Without food and water, one will surely die. Who gave us the air which we breathe? Without air, surely we will suffocate and die. Indeed, our Creator is He Who created the heavens, the earth, water, air and the stars. And He is All-Great and All-Powerful. It is He Who created and provided us with all these amenities of life.

Health and Fitness, - Stomach Swelling After Breaking the Fast

Question: Whenever I start eating, my stomach swells, and I get a stomachache when it is empty. What do you advise me to start with when breaking my fast inRamahdaan? Answer: Assalaamu ‘Alaykum, First of all, we must know the reason behind these symptoms. You may be suffering from an infection in your stomach, or it may irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, you must get a speculum test done in order to know what is causing this pain in order to treat it. As for what to eat when breaking your fast, then, naturally, it is best to follow the food system recommended by the Prophet,sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, which is to start with fresh dates. If they are not available, then dry dates, and if this is also not available, then water. If your swelling is a lot, then you may drink lemon juice with mint because it is very helpful for stomach swelling after eating. You must reduce the consumption of greasy foods and spices, and must avoid sleeping or lying down soon after eating. If these practices prove to be insufficient, then you can take some medication like Disflatyle. However, we recommend you see a doctor for this so that the cause for these symptoms can be better defined and thus properly treated.
