The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on what some teachers do when they write, for example, six thirty, while they actually arrived at seven, out of fear of trouble at the school, since most of the school staff do this?
The Shaykh:
This is lying. This is lying. One must adhere to the system and write the reality, which is the time one arrived. Whoever commits to the truth will be saved. However, he should avoid this by arriving early. My brother, arrive a quarter of an hour early and you will be safe from this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on the prayer of Ishraq?
The Shaykh:
He says: Something obstructed him on the road and he was delayed due to an excuse. He writes the time of his entry and writes the excuse, saying, "I arrived at such and such time, and the excuse was such and such." He commits to the truth. Yes.
