The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: On some days at work, I sign the attendance register on behalf of my colleagues,
The Shaykh:
What Allah willed, cooperation in sin and aggression. Yes.
The questioner:
since I know they are coming to work, but they encounter traffic congestion on the roads?
The Shaykh:
on their behalf. Do not sign on their behalf; let them come and sign themselves. As for you signing on their behalf while they have not yet arrived, and you do not know what will happen, this is a mistake on your part. Yes.
