Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, in our current time, in some jobs in companies and elsewhere, a person is seconded to a job he is assigned to, but he does not go, and if he does go, he does not complete the prescribed period of this secondment. Is it permissible for any person to take any of this money?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This lying and deception is not permissible. It is not permissible to be seconded or to take the salary, or to be off-duty, except with truthfulness and performing the work. He takes according to the work he has performed, and he does not make the name of secondment or being off-duty a means of trickery. There is no valid regulatory reason for it. This is not permissible. There must be a valid regulatory reason. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
