Leaving work after seeing the manager

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have a call from Yanbu, my brother 'Abd al-Ilah. May Allah keep you safe. 'Abd al-Ilah. My dear, stay safe. Keep it brief on the television and let us hear you over the phone. May Allah bless you. Yes, yes. Go ahead. Let me tell you, if a person is working in a company and does not call in, he goes and sits there until his manager comes down. I mean, he sees him and then goes home. May Allah reward you. He asks about a brother, 'Abdullah, who says that some people go to work only to see the manager, and once they see the manager, they leave work without completing their tasks.

Answer:
This is not permissible for him. The work is his responsibility, and he must be present even if he has no work to do. He must be at the workplace because the entire time is due for work. Therefore, he may not leave except for a valid religious excuse and with the permission of the supervisor, yes, and only to the extent of the need.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
