Personal trading during work hours

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I work under a contract with a company, and during my work hours I trade in some businesses for my personal account, without harming my main job. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
If you seek their permission, it is their time, as they have hired you for their time. If you seek their permission for this and they grant it, there is no harm.
