Question:
This questioner says: I am a teacher, and I asked my manager for a day off to perform 'Umrah. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This depends on the regulations. If the regulations allow it and grant you this leave, it is your right, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the regulations do not allow it, then performing your work is obligatory, while 'Umrah is recommended. Do not leave an obligatory duty for the sake of a recommended act.
