It is not permissible for an employee to receive a salary without performing their work, as it is unlawful money. If all of your father's money is unlawful, it is not permissible for you to benefit from it except in cases of extreme necessity, and only to the extent that such necessity is removed. However, if lawful and unlawful money are mixed in your father's wealth, you are only permitted to benefit from the lawful money.
