He is not going to be transferred, so should he take the relocation costs?
Question

                I work in a government department, and I was going to be transferred but then the transfer did not take place. Despite that I was still paid the relocation costs. Should I take this money and spent it on things that are just for work? Please note that I am a secretary for a department head and sometimes I need money for things that are required for work. Or should I leave it, knowing that it has been allocated in the budget in my name, and all I have to do is go and collect it? Please advise me, may Allaah reward you with good.
Praise be to Allah.It is not 
    permissible for you to take the relocation costs when you are not going to 
    relocate. What you have to do is to leave that money alone and not collect 
    it. You also have to tell the people in charge that you are not entitled to 
    this money. Perhaps by doing that you will set a good example to your 
    colleagues. 
Strive to 
    ensure your food is good [from halaal sources], for Allaah has enjoined upon 
    the believers that which He has enjoined upon the Messengers, which is to 
    eat of good [halaal] things and to do righteous deeds. Allaah says 
    (interpretation of the meaning): 
“O 
    (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibaat [all kinds of Halaal (lawful) foods 
    which Allaah has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk 
    products, fats, vegetables, fruits)] and do righteous deeds. Verily, I am 
    Well-Acquainted with what you do”

    [al-Mumin’oon 23:51] 
“O you 
    who believe (in the Oneness of Allaah — Islamic Monotheism)! Eat of the 
    lawful things that We have provided you with, and be grateful to Allaah, if 
    it is indeed He Whom you worship”

    [al-Baqarah 2:172]
And the Prophet 
    SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every body that is 
    nourished from haraam sources, the Fire is more suited to it.” Narrated by 
    al-Tabaraani and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’. 
And Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may 
    Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: I am an employee   working in a 
    government department, and sometimes we are paid overtime by the 
    administration, without us been asked to do any overtime and without us 
    coming to work. They regard it as an occasional bonus for the employees, and 
    the boss knows about that and approves of it. Is it permissible to take this 
    money? If it is not permissible, then what should I do about the money that 
    I have taken previously, noting that I have spent it? 
He replied:  If the 
    situation is as you describe, that is a reprehensible action which is not 
    permitted. Rather it is a kind of betrayal. You have to return the money 
    that you have taken in this manner to the state treasury. If you cannot do 
    that, then you have to give it in charity to the poor Muslims or to 
    charitable projects, as well as repenting to Allaah, and you must resolve 
    sincerely not to do that again, because it is not permissible for a Muslim 
    to take something from the Bayt al-Maal (treasury) of the Muslims except in 
    ways that are permitted in sharee’ah, and that are known to and approved of by the state.
