Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I emigrated from my country when the trials (fitan) became widespread there, to preserve my religion. I used to work for a government institution, and to this day I still receive my salary from that institution, even though I am not working. What should I do with it? Is this money lawful (halal) for me?
Answer:
No, as long as you are not working, the salary is not lawful for you, because the salary is in exchange for work. If you are not working, you do not take the salary. Yes.
