What is the ruling on money received for work that was not completed, knowing that the company did not benefit from the project and did not receive its files? Is it permissible to give this money as charity, or must it be returned to the company despite the difficulty of doing so?
There is no harm in accepting money paid by the company as compensation for time and effort expended, even if the company did not take the files. Their satisfaction with paying it is sufficient to make its acceptance permissible.
