Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a government employee and I do not have any emergency leave credits. An emergency circumstance forced me to be absent for a full day, so I obtained a medical report stating that I was ill, even though I was not ill. Then I took my salary for that day and gave it in charity. Is my action correct?
Answer:
By Allah, my brother, this is a matter of regulation. We do not interfere with regulations. If the regulation permits this, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it does not permit it, then that is what you deserve.
