It is not permissible for an employee to be absent or late for work without an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 10729 )
Q: I work as an employee in one of the government agencies, and as you know, the salary is not enough for living expenses. My working hours are from 5 to 11 PM, so I work during the day and go to my job between 6:00 and 6:30. However, I perform the work required of me to the best of my ability. The question is: Is it forbidden to steal the government's time, as my manager at work says? And is the salary I receive forbidden and devoid of blessing? I ask you to kindly inform me on this important matter, as I am in confusion and fear if the salary, despite its smallness, is forbidden, considering that I am doing my job and another additional job on top of it.
A: It is obligatory for you to attend your work according to the official working hours, and you should not leave work except with permission from your supervisor in accordance with the regulations.
