The ruling on receiving a substitute for a temporary assignment that is completed in less than the specified period
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A member is written for an extension of twenty days, but the council takes five days from that, then he is left with fifteen days.
The Shaykh : We look at whether the reality is that if this task were to proceed without any hardship for the person, he would not complete it in less than twenty days or approximately that, then he owes nothing. But if it is known that no matter how slow he is, he will complete it before ten days, then it is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes. And they say we are satisfied with it.
The Shaykh : No, no, absolutely not, if it is raised to the one above who is not satisfied. But this is from the immediate direct manager.
The questioner : He returns now, yes.
The Shaykh : If it were possible to return it so that it becomes clear that the one who was given this money is not trustworthy, that would be good. But I fear it may not be possible. If it is not possible, let him put it in public interests or give it in charity to the poor or something similar.
