Can he lie about his age in order to get a pension?

 

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 to re-evaluate their ages, and in most cases they get an official agreement to alter their ages between two to seven years. Then their ages are altered in the company files according to the instructions from the civil records department, based on the re-evaluation referred to. I think that doing something like this is haraam because most of those who do it are certain of how old they are before they ask for this re-evaluation, but they do this in order to get retirement. Is it haraam if I go to the official concerned and tell him the reason, and ask him to do issue instruction to show my age as older, without having to refer to this medical committee and to regard this action of that official as a favour so that I can  show the new documents to the government and retire?.

Praise be to Allaah.

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.

1 - Reading Quran and reflecting over the Quran Is our Duty

Read quran and it will guided us to the true teaching of The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) he summarized the religion of Islam with this statement: “The Religion is naseehah (sincerity)!” So then Tameem ibn Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, then said, “We asked, ‘To whom?’” He said: “To Allah, HIS BOOK holy quran, His Messenger, the leaders of the people, and their common folk.” [Muslim] so to study the religion people should go to the source of and source of Islam is the quran so learning quran and reading quran with the meaning the quran tafsir and then explore the words of wisdom. And for the Muslims the sincerity that is due to the Book of Allah includes doing the quran recitation, listening to quran along with learning the tajweed rules and reciting it beautifully, letting our kids learn quran learning holy quran tafseer and the reasons for its revelation, affirming that it is the Truth, the perfect Speech of Allah and not part of the creation, honoring it and defending it, abiding by the orders and prohibitions found in it and teaching quran to spread the word or truth and calling to it. So by learning quran education online and reflecting over the Quran online, one fulfills an obligation and is rewarded for that. Upon fulfilling this obligation, the Quran then becomes a proof for him on the Day of Judgment! And that is our second benefit we will take by embracing this Noble Book...
