Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some employees are assigned a task at their workplace and complete it in five days, but they write that the task took ten days. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh : If he completed the task in five days without any negligence in the work, no deficiency in it, and no pressure on those connected to this work, then there is no blame on him. But if he finished it in less time than he was assigned, accompanied by negligence, carelessness, or causing embarrassment to the clients who deal with his task, then that is not permissible for him.
