Is it permissible to take some plant cuttings, offshoots, or seeds from a nursery established at the workplace without financial compensation, knowing that the contract only stipulates maintenance?

It is not permissible for an employee to take anything owned by the company without the owner's permission, as this constitutes betrayal and unlawful appropriation of wealth. If the farming is within the scope of the required work, the employee has no right beyond the agreed-upon salary, and it is not permissible for him to take the company's money without its consent. However, if the farming work is outside the bounds of the contract, he has the right to demand his wages, and if they refuse, he should pursue legitimate means to claim it. It is not permissible to take anything from their money without their permission, unless he has a proven, undisputed right over them and is unable to obtain it through overt means.
