The obligation of an employee to record his time of entry and exit

Question: An employee in one of the government departments consistently maintains his attendance. When he arrives, he records his actual time of arrival in the attendance register. However, there is a group of his colleagues who record incorrect times; for example, one of them arrives at seven o’clock but writes six-thirty, or something similar. Consequently, these deceptive employees obtain benefits and privileges due to their falsification of signatures, while this employee is deprived of them because, even if he is late, he records his lateness. Is it permissible for him to do as they do? What is his position regarding them? What is the ruling on the action of the manager who is lenient in these matters? Does their mutual agreement and habit of doing so make this action permissible? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer: It is obligatory for every Muslim to fulfill the trust and to be cautious of betrayal in work, in attendance and absence, and in everything. It is obligatory for him to record the time he entered and the time he exited, so that he may clear his conscience.
It is obligatory for those responsible for them to advise them, direct them to good, and warn them against betrayal. And success is from Allah.
