Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. From Jeddah, a message was sent by the listener Ali al-Subhi. He says: The emergency leave that an employee is entitled to, which amounts to ten days per year, is it permissible for me to take it to visit al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, or to go with my family for recreation, or must it be for extreme necessity? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Necessary leave, according to the regulations, according to the regulations. If it is not granted except to one who has a necessity, then it is not permissible for you to request it when you do not have a necessity, but rather in order to use it for recreation, or for 'Umrah, or for going to al-Madinah. These matters are not necessities. Remaining at work is obligatory. Going for 'Umrah or to al-Madinah to pray in the two mosques and for 'Umrah in Makkah, these are recommended practices. Performing the obligatory work is more binding. Yes.
