Giving the deputized employee days off


A: It is not permissible for a person to take from the money of the government or his employer without having a right, or permit anyone else to do that, if he knows that this is against the truth. It was related by Abu Dawud in his Sunan v. 3 p. 353 on the authority of `Abdullah ibn Buraydah from his father that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If any of you is appointed to a position of authority and is given his wages, what he takes after that will be ill-gotten gains. Thus, it is not permissible for that man to take the money he receives for the authorization that he does not undertake, because he is not entitled to it and it involves Zhulm (injustice) for other people and violating their rights without legal right. Moreover, it is not permissible for him to take money for the period in which he left his work without a legal reason.Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
