Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I work in a pharmacy on the night shift. Is it permissible for me to read the Qur'an or religious books during my work without obtaining the approval of the owner of this pharmacy?
Answer:
The discussion concerns the performance of the work. If his reading of the Qur'an or his looking into a book does not affect the progress of the work, and he carries out the work, then there is no harm in that. However, if this affects the progress of the work, then it is not permissible for him to do so. Yes.
