Ruling on receiving the assignment allowance without going to the workplace

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If my boss at work gives me an assignment order such that I do not go to the location, but rather I sign papers stating that I have actually gone there, with his approval, so that the assignment allowance is paid to me, is this considered a reward? Is it permissible for me to take it, or is it from ghalul (embezzlement)?

Answer:
This is a matter outside of working hours, and this matter has government regulations. So, what conforms to the regulations and is permitted by the regulations, there is no harm in it. As for what contradicts the regulations and is done through ruses, and is not correct, this is not permissible. Yes.
