Traveling for 'Umrah during a work leave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of the one who takes leave and goes to perform 'Umrah? And he did not inform, for example, the office or the institution where he works? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad. As for what follows, employment and hired work are a trust in the responsibility of the worker; he must carry it out and not be negligent in any of his time or waste his time. Carrying out the work and clearing his conscience is more obligatory and binding on him than going for 'Umrah. However, if he asks permission from the authority to whom his work is subject and they grant him leave, then there is nothing wrong with it, although it is better for him to carry out the work and clear his conscience. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
