What is the ruling on an employee taking a salary without working?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about an employee who receives a salary but does not go to his work.
Answer:
We say that if he has a regular leave, and he does not go because he is on regular leave, then there is no harm. But if he has no regular leave and he abandons his work out of laxity, this is not permissible. This is a trust, a trust; work is a trust, and he receives a salary in return. Is it not permissible for him to be late for work when he has no valid religious excuse?
