The ruling on one who uses his employees for his personal affairs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some employees exploit their official authority by using the military personnel or staff in their departments to handle their personal household affairs and complete their personal transactions at government offices. What is your opinion, Your Eminence?
Answer:
It is not permissible to use them for other needs except in a private arrangement between him and the servant outside of working hours. If he and the servant agree at other times that he will serve him and give him what satisfies him and helps him, that is up to him. However, working hours are exclusively for the government workplace, so the servant and non-servants work at the government workplace for which they are ordered.
If he has needs, he should have another servant, other than the servant for the government—a servant for the house and other needs—who follows the house, follows his needs, follows his wealth, and is exclusive to him. As for the government servant, he is to be in government work. If this servant works outside of work during leave time and rest time on something between him and his boss, he does not exploit him because he is a servant, but rather it is assistance between him and him; he gives him assistance by his choice and consent, not by threat or intimidation; this does not harm. However, if it is by threat or intimidation if he does not do it, this is not permissible.
