What is the ruling on an employee whose manager dismissed him from his job because they did not need him, yet he continues to receive his salary?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I work as an employee for the state, and the place where I was appointed does not need me, so the manager dismissed me from work, even though I do not attend, and I receive my salary without working. What is the ruling?

Answer:
The ruling is that you come to work and sit, even if you have no work, because you have made yourself available and are sitting, so you sit in the workplace. The manager does not have the right to prevent you from attending; rather, you attend and sit. If work comes, you work; if no work comes, you sit and wait for work.
