The ruling on an employee leaving before the end of the workday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, we are a group of employees at one of the companies, and every day one of us stays behind to stamp our cards so that we can leave work twenty minutes or half an hour before the end of the workday. Is that permissible?
Answer:
That is not permissible. An employee does not leave except at the end of the workday; that is the system. Unless a pressing need arises that requires him to leave, in which case there is nothing wrong with it. A pressing need has its own status. But if he leaves out of laziness and to steal time, that is not permissible. Yes.
