What is the ruling on obtaining an excuse from a hospital to perform Umrah without medical reasons?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If employers require a medical leave for your absence, then it is not permissible for you to take it unless you are genuinely ill; otherwise, it would be a lie and deception. Similarly, it is not permissible for the hospital to issue a certificate that does not conform to reality; otherwise, it would be a false testimony.
