What is the ruling on the salary paid for performing work tasks if the employee performs the required work perfectly, but utilizes the remaining time for personal matters, such as studying, learning a language, or other activities?

The fatwa clarifies that it is impermissible for an employee to engage in personal work during official working hours. However, if the employee has completed their assigned work and has free time, there is no objection to using it for online communication or similar activities, provided that the employer does not object to the use of their equipment for such purposes. The employee is entitled to compensation for performing the work assigned to them during working hours.
