It is not permissible to abandon your work and assign it to someone else without the permission of the responsible authority. This is a trust and a duty that has been entrusted to you, and for which you receive your wage. Allah (the Exalted) says: "Indeed, We offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant." It is permissible to be absent if it is customary or with the permission of the responsible person.
