What is the ruling on signing off for days when an employee is absent with the approval of the direct manager due to a lack of work?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The presenter:
And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Thank you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. May Allah bless you and benefit us with your knowledge, and may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims.
The questioner:
As for the first question of this evening, the questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I work as a teacher, and these days we only attend for one or two days a week, then we sign off for all the days of the week with the approval of the direct manager. Is that permissible, since there is no work in the schools these days?
The Shaykh:
This depends on the educational system. If the educational system allows you to do that, there is nothing wrong with it. But if the system does not allow it, it is not permissible, even if the manager allows it. The manager does not contradict the system.
