Government provided medical aid

Question

I understand that we are not supposed to have medical aid however in the United States, the people who have low income, the government provides for them medical benefits, that is if a united state citizen who has no job or has a low income if he applies for medical aid then the Government will take it upon themselves to see to his physical and medicinal needs. So will it be permissible for a Muslim to apply for this type of medical aid?

Mufti Zakaria Makada · Accepted Answer

If it is a benefit provided from the side of the government for the people, it is permissible.

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