The Ruling on Reporting a Superior’s Violations to the Authority
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I work as an employee in a government department. The head of this department has violations in his work that contravene the state’s regulations, and he does not accept advice when we advise him. Is it permissible for me to report him to the authority over him if I am able to do so? And is that considered talebearing?
Answer:
This is advice, not talebearing, and this is forbidding what is wrong. If you report him, you have forbidden what is wrong.
