Obedience to superiors in official employment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This question. He says: I am an employee in one of the government departments, and I am bound by a contract with a private entity. Sometimes, instructions from my superiors contradict what is stipulated in the contract. What is the ruling on obeying superiors in this work, if that does not change the right?
The Shaykh:
There is no problem.
The presenter:
There is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh:
The last thing.
The questioner:
He says: He is an employee in one of the Islamic departments, and they are bound by contracts with private entities. Sometimes, instructions from our superiors come that are outside what is stipulated in the contract. What is the ruling on obeying superiors in this work?
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory to obey superiors in work because you are an employee and you receive a salary for your work. Therefore, it is not permissible to be bound by another job that interferes with your official duties. The system prohibits this. Either you donate your position, or you leave the position and go with the work you want. As for combining this and that, that is not permissible; it interferes with the work and violates the system.
The presenter:
We ask Allah for safety.
