Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In our workplace, if your direct supervisor wants to reward you, he grants you a secondment without you performing the task, just so you can receive the amount. This is a common practice, even among the senior officials. Is this permissible? And am I allowed to accept this secondment? According to the regulations,

Answer:
According to the regulations. If the regulations permit this, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the regulations do not permit it, and they are deceiving the system and lying, it is forbidden, so it is not permissible. If he wants to benefit the employees he has, he should give them from his own money, may Allah reward him with good, and give them from his own money, not from the money of the Muslims. The bottom line is that this follows the regulations. If the regulations justify his action, there is nothing wrong with it. If the regulations do not justify it, it is forbidden. Yes.
