The employee leaving work to attend to his personal affairs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is about the employee who leaves his work to attend to some of his personal needs and interests. Sometimes he leaves with permission from his direct supervisor, and sometimes he leaves without permission from his direct supervisor. So how does he get rid of this sin?

Answer:
The employee’s time has been taken from him for work; his time for work and attendance has been purchased from him, and he receives compensation for it. So he must devote his time to work and not take any time for his personal interests or needs except in cases of dire necessity. If a dire necessity arises that requires him to leave, he asks his manager for permission and leaves. But if the matter is not a dire necessity, and it is something he does regularly every day, always leaving, this is not permissible. A need does not persist; sometimes it arises and then goes away. He must not be lax in his work. Yes.
