Q:
An employee deducted from his salary the number of days of absence from work. He was embarrassed to return this sum of money back to his employer. Should he pay it to Bayt-ul-Mal (Muslim treasury), or give it to the Mujahids (one fighting in the Cause of Allah)
or others?
A:
If the employee was not given absence permission, he should return the salary of his days of absence to the place where he works. If this is impossible or entails great harm, he may give it as a Sadaqah (voluntary charity) to the poor.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
