Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I work as a teacher in a school. On some days, I ask for permission to leave before the end of the workday, knowing that I have completed all the work assigned to me. Is this permission permissible, or am I religiously accountable for it?
Answer:
This follows the regulations. If the regulations require you to stay, do not leave, because they may need you. There may be a teacher who is absent or has encountered something. You make yourself available for work, even if you have no work to do; you make yourself available and are present in the place, which is what the regulations require. Yes.
