What is the ruling on leaving work early during the training period, and on reading newspapers and browsing useful websites during long periods of free time?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
An employee is permitted to leave after finishing work if the employer allows it, or if it is stipulated in the contract, or if it is customary practice. Using work devices for personal purposes and viewing private websites is not allowed except with permission. Reading books and newspapers during work hours is not objectionable if it does not distract from work; otherwise, it is not permissible without permission. The training period is designated for observing work and gaining experience, and it is not permissible to exploit it for purposes other than what the employer intends.
