The ruling on taking money in exchange for one's right when it is difficult to obtain it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a junior employee was given his manager's car. Yes. A junior employee. Yes. The manager gave him the car to repair it, so he repaired it, but the manager did not pay him the repair fee, delaying him. Then he ordered him again and gave him money for that. Yes. He ordered him again. Yes. And gave him money for that, but it did not need repair, so this employee took this amount. Is he concerned about that?

Answer:
This is if he has proof. If he has proof of the right he is owed, meaning he claims it, praise be to Allah, the courts are open, and the court will compel him to pay the right he owes, and he does not need to take from the money that was given to him. If he has proof, he should take him to court, and the court will compel him to pay the right he owes. But if he has no proof and he is certain that it appears to be his right, and this money that was given to him the second time is equal to the amount of his right, this is called the issue of seizing (al-dhufar). If a person is unable to obtain his right, if a person is unable to obtain his right and he finds money belonging to the one who wronged him, he takes the amount of his right. He takes it according to the Shari'ah. And the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . And his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to Hind bint 'Utbah, the wife of Abu Sufyan, when she complained to him and said, "Abu Sufyan is a stingy man who does not give me what is sufficient for me and my child," he said (peace and blessings be upon him) . This is called the issue of the lost item (al-dallal). If a person is unable to take his right from a person who displays wealth belonging to him, he is allowed to take the amount of his right.
