The salary added to the bank account monthly after leaving work has two scenarios:
1. If it is with the knowledge and consent of the employer, then it is a permissible gift. 2. If it is without their consent and by mistake, then it is not permissible to take it.
One must inquire with the employer to find out the reason for the continued deposit of the salary in order to determine the correct course of action.
