Agreeing with the superior only in order to to get paid

Q: I am an employee in a governmental department. My boss has given me permission not to come to work except on the day when salaries are paid. In return, he deducts 1500 SR from my salary. I do not know whether the department knows about this or not. Are we committing a sin or not?


A: It is unlawful for you to take your salary unless you perform the duties of your job. Likewise, it is not permissible for your boss to give you permission not to come to work in return for part of your salary, as this is an act of treachery and collaboration in sin and transgression.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
