The ruling on an employee recording a time of attendance that is not genuine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. Now, the last one is preserving some of the work. The work starts at exactly seven o'clock, but it is seven-thirty, and the workday ends at seven. If he is late, he says that he should not be counted among the other employees.
Answer:
This is not acceptable; it is not honest work. It is obligatory for a person to record the reality, to write the time he arrived, and not to record an early arrival before he actually came. This is lying, and it is not permissible. If he wants to be careful about his salary and does not want anything to be deducted from it or reduced, he should mention it, or he should come at the beginning of the workday.
