What is the ruling on my work for a company from which I received my salary in exchange for work done for another company, knowing that the time allotted for completing the work was exaggerated, and that this was encouraged by the officials to gain financially from the time difference? Do I have to return the excess money, given that I do not know the owners of the company?
