Is there any doubt concerning the lawfulness of the salary the questioner receives due to his failure to perform his primary job duties as required, and is there any doubt concerning the lawfulness of the money he receives from contractors in exchange for his work with them?

1. The employee is obligated to be present and remain for the agreed-upon working hours, and is entitled to full wages, even if no work is assigned to him, because a private employee is entitled to wages by surrendering himself for the duration.

2. You are not obligated to accept the manager's exploitation of you for work outside your official duties, whether outside or during working hours. You are also not permitted to obey him if his private work leads to dereliction of your official duties, because that falls under cooperation in sin.

3. You are not permitted to take payment from the contractor unless your employer permits it, because gifts to employees are considered ill-gotten gain, unless the employer grants permission for it.

4. It is your right to request payment for work you perform outside your official working hours.

5. There is no blame upon you for benefiting from your salary as long as you perform the work entrusted to you and are present during official working hours until they conclude, even if no work is assigned to you during that time. As for your negligence in work, if it is with the permission of someone authorized to give permission, then your salary is permissible for you. If the manager was not authorized and you left your official work for the manager's work, its ruling has been explained in Fatwa No. 46312.
