The question

Is it permissible for a female doctor to receive compensation for shifts she did not perform due to pregnancy and childbirth, knowing that the inclusion of her name is necessary for her colleagues to receive their compensation? And is it permissible for her to dispose of this money by giving it as charity, or by giving it to her mother to pay off debts for repairing her house, or to pay off her husband's debts? And are the annual compensations she receives permissible, knowing that two foreign colleagues do not receive compensation due to the law, and that their right is reserved pending a change in the law?

The answer

As for the shift allowance, the omission of some doctors' names does not affect it, and it is permissible to benefit from it. Whoever's name was not included, but was entitled to it, has the right to claim it. However, taking the shift allowance without attending is not permissible, and it must be returned to the disbursing authority, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "On the hand is what it took until it renders it." It is not permissible to resort to trickery to take what an employee is not entitled to, for he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions," and "The wealth of a Muslim person is not lawful except with his willing consent."
