Question:
This person is asking about the ruling on a person, whether male or female, who takes money from the state in exchange for work, such as teaching or another job. He receives a salary but does not perform the work as required.
Answer:
It is forbidden. It is forbidden for the employee to take the salary and not do the work. He must perform the work as required, because this is a trust in his charge, and because he is receiving a salary in exchange for it, he must perform the work as required and carry out the job as required. Otherwise, if he falls short, what he takes becomes forbidden because he is taking it without compensation.
