Taking payment for private work outside of working hours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I do private work related to my job outside of working hours. Is it permissible for me to take from my salary as compensation for this work I do, even though my superiors do not approve of it? I asked them, but they refused.
Answer:
Do not do it, my brother. Stick to your job. Do not do anything other than your job, and do not leave the job to go do something else. As for taking on a job or position that is not part of your duties, and saying, "I work at this, but the system forbids me from doing this," it is not permissible for you to do this. Yes. If the job does not suit you or is not sufficient for you, move to something else. Yes.
