Claiming from the UIF fund

· 18 Shawwal 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

At work, during the lockdown, we were working on a rotational basis. Hence we never get paid for the days we never work. However, the company has put in a request from the UIF fund. Is it permissible for me to consume this money from the UIF, should the amount be more then my total contribution towards it?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
