The answer

We ask Allah to relieve the oppressed Muslims and to replace their fear with security. If the entity where the employee works allows for half of his salary to be disbursed until he is released from captivity, then there is no problem in taking it. It is considered a right of the captive employee and of those whose maintenance is obligatory upon him, such as his wife and children. They should spend from it in a reasonable manner, according to their needs.
