Is it permissible for a worker to secretly take money from an unjust employer who expels workers and does not give them their rights, knowing that he expects to meet the same fate?

It is not permissible to take the factory owner's money before it is due, based on the fear of injustice, because the fundamental principle regarding a Muslim's wealth is its inviolability and sanctity, and it is not made lawful by mere suspicion. Those who are harmed can remove the injustice from themselves by resorting to the judiciary or administrative institutions.
