Government reimbursement

Answered by 

Q: I have a question. I live in Canada and when you work every three months the government will send me tax without me asking for it. Is this considered riba?

Bismillaah

A: If the government is reimbursing you then it is permissible to receive the reimbursement.

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