Question:
She says: I am a teacher who is absent from school without necessity. The question is: Is it permissible for me to take the salary for that day?
Answer:
If there is no excuse that the regulations allow for, and it is merely laziness or negligence, then this action is not permissible, and the salary she takes while not performing the work is not lawful for her. She does not take a salary except in exchange for performing the work, unless a religious excuse arises that the regulations allow for leaving work, in which case there is no harm, such as a sick leave. Yes.
