Is the isolation allowance received by doctors and technicians working in administrative and office jobs, away from their basic specializations, considered permissible (halal) or forbidden (haram)? And if it is forbidden, must the amounts they received be returned or given away as charity?

Employees must perform their duties proficiently and adhere to regulations; otherwise, they would be betraying trust and consuming ill-gotten gains, because trustworthiness is a characteristic of faith, and betrayal is a characteristic of hypocrisy.

Therefore, an employee who does not adhere to the nature of their work or their required hours incurs sin and unlawful money.

Whoever takes money for work they did not perform has, by their action, consumed wealth unjustly and betrayed trust, even if their direct superior agreed.

Whoever has fallen short in their job duties must repent and seek forgiveness, and return the money to the employers. If unable, they must donate it to charitable causes.
