Is it permissible, in Sharia, to take a sum of money from the company as compensation for a difference in end-of-service entitlements, given that there is an unaccounted for difference in the custody, knowing that the company refused to convert the settlement into an advance, and that the labor law does not permit what occurred, and it is not possible to file a complaint or return the money to the company?
The excess amount is not permissible for you to take, and you must return it to the workplace, unless the authorized official permits you to keep it. Giving it away as charity is not sufficient as long as it can be returned. As for the amount you missed due to the liquidation, you accepted and agreed to it, so you are not entitled to it, and you should not resort to trickery to obtain it.
