One must adhere to the work agreed upon with the company, for Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts." It is not permissible to receive a salary for overtime work that was not completed, as this is an act of betrayal and consuming wealth unlawfully, unless the responsible person is authorized by the company to do so, and it is considered a gift from them. If the company does not pay overtime wages except to those who completed their work during official working hours, then it is not permissible to take this bonus, and it must be returned or the company must be asked for forgiveness if it was already taken.
