The 19-year-old, who left east London in 2015, was stripped of her citizenship in February, after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp.
Her family has previously said it planned to challenge the decision.
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the idea of the provision of legal aid to Ms Begum made him "very uncomfortable".
Mr Hunt added, however, that the UK was "a country that believes that people with limited means should have access to the resources of the state if they want to challenge the decisions the state has made about them".

They were warned, however.....
On Monday, the Daily Mail first reported that legal aid had been granted in response to an application made on 19 March.
Mr Javid said the granting of legal aid was a decision for legal aid organisations and it was "not for ministers to comment".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn argued Ms Begum had the right to apply for legal aid.
"She is a British citizen," he said. "She's therefore entitled to apply for legal aid if she has a legal problem just like anybody else is."
He added: "The whole point of legal aid is that if you're facing a prosecution then you're entitled to be represented and that's a fundamental rule of law, a fundamental point in any democratic society."

Her citizenship was withdrawn as it was stated that she had dual nationality but this was not quite true. It was contended that, through her parents, she was eligible for Bangladeshi nationality. Bangladesh has subsequently denied that it will grant her its nationality. So she only has ever had British nationality. Sajid Javid, chasing the popularity vote for his forthcoming Prime ministership campaign, withdrew her citizenship, which by international law, cannot be done if by doing so it would leave that person stateless.

Whether you like it or not she will eventually have her British citizenship reinstated. So it would seem to be common sense not to go through the courts wasting money on lawyers (not limited to legal aid) just to pander to Sajid Javid's political reputation and accept the inevitable. It seems he is following on from a list of incompetent Home Secretaries.

I hate it as much as many people seem to that she is seen to be getting away with her 'crimes'. Think much needs to be watched and monitored once she returns. I personally feel she has not truly renounced her beliefs and will revert to form once she is back.
I pray to God that either im wrong or the security services are on her case from day one.
