I retired and for three years I have been deprived of my salary; the bank takes it all. Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh:
What is the reason the bank takes it?
The questioner:
I have overdue debts, and they are expelling me.
The Shaykh:
You have debts, so there is no harm in its taking them.
