Leaving work to attend to personal needs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes I leave my work to attend to some of my personal needs, and although I ask my direct supervisor for permission, is this permissible?
Answer:
If these needs are necessary, if you are in need of them or your home is in need of them, and you have asked your supervisor for permission, then there is no harm in it. But if it is a need you do not have, or your supervisor has not given you permission, then it is not permissible.
