Is it permissible for me to take

Q 2: I work in a grocery store and I have not received (Part No. 15; Page No. 145) my salary for the last few months. When I ask my employers to give me my monthly salary they say: "In sha’a-Allah 'if Allah wills'" but they only give me my salary every four or six months. However, when someone terminates their work and goes back to their country; they receive the full salary. My question is: Is it permissible for me to take my salary from the grocery store secretly without informing its owner of this except when my contract terminates so that I do not request any thing more from them. It may be worthy mentioning that it is necessary that I send money to my family every month and that the current situation harms them severely, subjects them to people's inquiries, and might lead them to be angry with me thinking that I neglect them while I am their sole supporter. May Allah reward you with the best.


A: It is impermissible for you to take your salary from the grocery store that you work in without informing the owner thereof and taking their permission. On the other hand, you have to request your sponsor to give you your salary whenever you need it. In case your sponsor refuses to help, you have to complain to the concerned authority to compel your sponsor to act positively. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
