The charitable organisation ceased operation, yet the employees are still receiving salaries

The ruling on your work for this organisation is based on the
attitude of the administration towards the cessation of work, and on knowing
the nature of the charitable work that the organisation does.

If the administration is trying to overcome the problem that
led to cessation of work, and it thinks that it is in the organisation’s
best interests to keep the team until the work can resume, then this is
valid reasoning, because keeping the team is a genuine interest for the
organisation, and letting them go then bringing in new employees will have
an adverse impact on the smooth operation and efficiency of the work, and it
will make the employees not want to work in that organisation, because they
will be worried about the lack of job stability. In this case, there is
nothing wrong with the salary that you receive.

But if the administration is not keen to resume work and is
not fulfilling the trust that it has been given in such a manner that would
absolve it of blame, then undoubtedly what they are doing is wrong and is
haraam, because it is a betrayal of the trust that they were given.

With regard to your salary in this case, it is essential to
know the nature of the charitable activities of the organisation and the
intention of donors who give money to it. If their intervention is to do
charitable acts of various types, in a general sense, such as helping the
needy and the sick and so on, then if you are in need of that work because
you cannot find anything else, as you stated in your question, and you are
in need of your salary, then there is nothing wrong with the salary that you
are receiving, in sha Allah, because it could be regarded as a type of help
from the organisation to you, and it comes under the heading of the
charitable activities of the organisation and is in harmony with the
intention of the donors.

But if the charitable activities of the organisation are
restricted to some specific activities such as helping orphans or the
elderly and the like, namely groups among whom you are not included, then
our advice to you is to look seriously for another job. But in this case we
hope that there is no blame on you for taking the salary until you are able
to find another job, because in this case you are like one who has no choice
but to do that, because you have made yourself available and given the time
that you agreed in your contract with the organisation to give. We advise
you to try to fill your work hours with charitable acts that are like the
organisation’s activities that have ceased, or are similar to them, as much
as is possible.

And Allah knows best.
