The ruling on an employee sleeping during official working hours

Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, some employees are sleeping during official working hours, on the pretext that they do not want any visitors, or that there are few visitors in their government office. Is their sleeping during working hours a waste of the trust?

Answer:
The working hours are for work, not for sleeping. He must be alert and wait for those who come to attend to their affairs. However, if sleep and drowsiness overcome him unintentionally, there is no blame on him. But if he deliberately sleeps during working hours, that is not permissible for him, especially since some of them, or many of them, are afflicted with staying up late at night and then coming to work exhausted from the late night. That is not permissible for him, because the intended purpose is not just the presence of his body in the workplace; the intended purpose is that he is present, alert, and waiting for the visitors, and that he works on the duties of the job. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
