Ruling on Taking Leave from Work with False Excuses

The question: His fourth question states: If an employee says to his superiors, "I have such and such circumstances, and I want you to grant me leave from work for one or two days," but he is not truthful; rather, he has other simple circumstances, or he wants to rest from work, and if he were to inform them of the truth, they would not grant him permission, what is his obligation in this matter?
The answer: It is obligatory for him to be truthful and not to offer an excuse except with the truth. If they grant him permission, praise be to Allah; otherwise, he should proceed with his work. As for lying, it is not permissible; rather, this is a wrong and an evasion of an obligation, so it is not permissible for him to do so for two reasons: First, it is a lie. Second, it is abandoning an obligation without an excuse, so it is not permissible for him to do so. Yes.
