The Ruling on Signing the Attendance Register at a Time Other Than the Actual Time of Arrival
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am an employee at one of the private schools, and I come to sign the attendance register at exactly six twenty-six. He says that some of the employees objected to me and said, "Do not sign at six twenty-six; rather, sign at the time you left your house, because you are considered to be on duty." Is this statement correct, or is it a form of deception?
Answer:
This is a system. This is a system that operates according to the rules regarding signing. Yes.
