The allowance granted to the sister is subject to the terms of the contract or regulations. If the employer violates the system and withholds the sister's rightful allowance, she may seek to recover it through complaint or litigation. If she is unable to do so, it is permissible for her to take the amount of her right, which is the issue of al-Zafar (taking one's right by force or stratagem). It is permissible for her to take the allowance up to the amount she was previously entitled to. Any excess amount should be deposited into an account for the discharge of liability if it can be returned to the granting party without harm.
