Transfers between employees and the duties of the follow-up officer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q42: What is the ruling on a transfer between two colleagues for a monetary consideration, especially if one of them needs the transfer and the other does not, and the latter would not agree to it except for this consideration?
A42: If the workplace does not object to the transfer and the transfer is a right of the employee, it is permissible for him to request it and to relinquish it, and there is no harm to the interest of the work. It appears that this action is permissible; because it is a disposition of what is his entitlement. However, if the transfer is tied to the administration and is reviewed for the interest of the work, then the system is applied and such a disposition is not permissible.
Q43: We have a follow-up department, and among its duties is following up
on employees in the performance of their work and writing reports on those who are negligent and submitting them to the supervisor. Some colleagues are hesitant to perform their work for this reason, fearing accusation and spying. What is the ruling on their work?
A43: It is obligatory for everyone entrusted with a job to perform it completely and not to pay attention to what is said about it. Indeed, overseeing matters is obligatory. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:283] Otherwise, work would be chaos and the interests of the Muslims would be disrupted.
Q44: Is there any advice you would direct to those working in religious affairs? And to the officials in government agencies regarding religious affairs?
Vol. 44: We advise them to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and let them know that they are on a great frontier of the frontiers of Islam. And Allah the Exalted says:[At-Tawbah 9:122]. Therefore, those working in religious affairs in the military sectors are among the first
people to deserve this description, for the rest of their military brothers are occupied with performing their military duties, which prevents them from attending the circles of knowledge and studying the religion in depth. Thus, it is obligatory for the one who has been freed for this matter to study the religion of Allah and spread knowledge among his brothers when he returns to them, and it is incumbent upon the rest of their military brothers to respect and honor them, out of respect for knowledge and reverence for its people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 357 It was narrated by Abu Dawud in his (Sunan).

then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful
فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ وَلا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ وَمَنْ يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ قَلْبُهُQ44: Is there any advice you would direct to those working in religious affairs? And to the officials in government agencies regarding religious affairs?

For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.
فَلَوْلا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طَائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَلِيُنْذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَpeople to deserve this description, for the rest of their military brothers are occupied with performing their military duties, which prevents them from attending the circles of knowledge and studying the religion in depth.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Part of respect for Allah is to show respect to an old Muslim and to someone who knows the Qur'an, as long as he does not go to excess in it nor turn away from it, and to respect a just ruler.
