What is the ruling on eating and drinking from the store without charge, in exchange for not calculating overtime pay that exceeds what was agreed upon?

You are not permitted to eat from the store's merchandise in exchange for the extra hours you work in the following situations:

1. If you are not compelled to work extra hours, your work is considered a voluntary act, and taking from the store without the owner's knowledge is a betrayal. 2. If you are compelled to work extra hours, and you are able to demand your wages. 3. If you are compelled to work extra hours and the employer refuses to pay, and you are able to leave the job. 4. If you are compelled to work extra hours, and the employer refuses to pay, and it is difficult for you to leave the job, and you are able to take the matter to court to claim your right.

However, if you are unable to obtain your right through the court (due to lack of evidence, or the right-holder's refusal to litigate, and so forth), scholars have differed: The first (and well-known) opinion: You are not permitted to take the amount of your right. The second opinion: You are permitted to take what is customary if the property is of the same kind as your right, or through estimation if it is of a different kind, based on the hadith of Hind.
