Q: Is it lawful for an employee to receive a salary for the annual leave?

A: If both the employee and the employer are bound by the rules and regulations governing the labor law in your country, the employee, after a year's service or more, will be entitled to the privileges granted by the labor law system. There is nothing wrong if the employee receives an annual paid leave as the employer is required to comply with the rules and regulations of the labor law which include the employee's right to an annual paid leave. It is more likely to be a labor contract law by virtue of which the annual leave is guaranteed. Muslims are duty bound to abide by the conditions they make except those which involve permitting an unlawful matter or prohibiting a lawful one, which is not the case with annual leave. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
