Are we sinful if we record an attendance time that is contrary to the truth, based on the administration's request?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the management allows flexibility in attendance time, and requests that a specific attendance time be written down when the allowed delay is exceeded, then there is no sin upon the employees in doing so. This is because it is not deception, but rather an implementation of the directives of the authorized management, and it may be to avoid complex administrative procedures. However, if the intention is to conceal this action from higher management, then it is forbidden deception, and the employee who cooperates in it commits a sin.
