Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable oneThe Shaykh : I work as an employee in the Qassim region, and I am from the residents of Hail. I am sometimes compelled to take emergency leave, but solely to see my family, specifically to see my parents. The work does not require me to go unless I bring someone to take my place in the job. Is it permissible for me to take two days of leave solely to see my parents?
The Shaykh : Yes, but how many times a year do you take this leave?
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : Once a year is fine, because this is a valid religious excuse and it is brief, once a year. But do you go every week during the weekly holiday?
The questioner : No, for example, they have allotted you ten days of emergency leave to take whenever you wish, but if there is something urgent, meaning, I only go to see my parents; there is nothing urgent except seeing my parents.
The Shaykh : And seeing one's parents, given the long duration of separation, is almost urgent.
The Shaykh : Yes, but how many times a year do you take this leave?
The questioner : Yes, I do.
