"There is no harm in benefiting from what you have earned from this work, and you are not required to give charity from your salary or leave the company. However, if you are asked to collect information and you know that the purpose is forbidden, such as assisting usurers or commercial insurance companies, then refrain from doing so, even if it leads to your dismissal, provided you find another permissible job."
