I get dividends from companies I never worked for, & I am happy to deposit them. I, or other family members worked hard, to save the money, to buy the stocks.
You took the risk by investing in the company. You deserve the rewards in the form of dividends.
Is it morally acceptable to receive money you didn’t earn like from strangers?
Of course it is. Is this a trick question? Now, if that money is being taken from said stranger against their wishes, that's an entirely different question - but probably much closer to what you're really getting at.
If so, it is morally acceptable because it is legal in our country.
Legal and moral are unrelated qualifications.
