The questioner : This questioner says in this question: I work in one of the commercial establishments, but sometimes I am late for work by five or ten minutes, and I make up for that at the end of the workday. Is my work valid?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for the employee to adhere to the system by arriving at the start of the workday at the specified time and leaving at the end of the workday at the specified time, because the job is measured by time, not by work. It is not permissible for him to diminish the beginning of the time and add the same amount at the end of the time, except if the person in charge of this service sees that there is a benefit in doing so, in which case there is no harm. Otherwise, it is obligatory to adhere to the system by arriving at the beginning of the time at the specified time, and at the end, not leaving except at the specified time.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, Shaykh.
