The Ruling on Receiving a Salary from the State Without Compensation

Question
My son lives in Germany and receives a salary from the German government. Is this money forbidden even though he is making an effort to work, but he has not found a job yet?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: it is not considered forbidden; because he took it willingly from them, and there is no deception involved, and it is a right for anyone living in their country, and God knows best.
