Is it permissible for an employee to continue in his current job, which involves deducting full or partial days of absence from the salary, and providing data for employees (both male and female) who benefit from external training programs that require travel, knowing that he desires to continue working due to the available benefits?
The employer's condition of deducting a full day's wage from an employee who is late for a specific time or absent for part of a day is permissible, because Muslims are bound by their conditions, and the contract is the law between the contracting parties. This is considered a reduction in wages according to the agreed-upon contract, not a financial punishment. As for external training that does not differentiate between women and men, it is not permissible to assist in it if it leads to Sharia violations, such as a woman traveling without a mahram; based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." If one cannot avoid assisting in something that involves a Sharia prohibition, then he must search for another job free from impermissibility and doubt, and he may remain in his current job until he finds an alternative.
