What is the ruling on benefiting from a government salary during a two-month sick leave, knowing that the first month was due to undergoing two surgeries and the second for recovery, and that the law permits the disbursement of salary during sick leave?

If you are absent from work without a sick leave from the competent authority, and only with your manager's permission, then you are not entitled to a salary for the period of absence. However, if you obtain an official sick leave, you may benefit from the salary as long as the law grants you this right. It is advisable to present the matter to trustworthy scholars in your country.
