The questioner : He says:The questioner : I have not yet performed the obligatory Hajj, and I intend to perform it this year, but I am an employee in the Ministry of Health, and during the Hajj season I am assigned to work in Hajj. It is known that the regulations do not allow me to work while performing Hajj.
The Shaykh : But what?
The questioner : Working while performing Hajj, but my supervisor personally allowed me, among the employees assigned to work, knowing that this does not affect the work, as the regulations do not allow leaving the residence for fear of emergencies. So, do I perform the obligation in this manner?
The Shaykh : A question like this cannot be asked publicly; this is something to be asked privately, because his supervisor does not have the authority to grant him permission. The job-related work does not depend on the direct supervisor; it depends on what? It depends on the Civil Service System, unless the Civil Service has delegated the matter to the supervisor. In that case, he has the authority. This is a problem that often occurs in forms other than this one, where a person takes what the direct supervisor says, without caring about what the general system requires. This is incorrect. Even the direct supervisor does not have the authority to act in a way that contradicts the general system in service or in the service system. Therefore, in a question like this, the question should be private. If the questioner who submitted this question to you had written it privately, it would have been better for him. But now, he has placed himself in a difficult situation.
We say that your reference in this matter is not the direct supervisor, but the Civil Service Department. If the system allows you to perform Hajj and work together, then work. If it does not allow it, then do not work, even if your direct supervisor gives you permission, unless the direct supervisor has been given the authority in such a case. Yes.
