The worker's hours are determined by the contract concluded with the employer, and what has been agreed upon must be adhered to unless it violates Islamic law. It is not permissible to falsify a sick leave. It is permissible to take incidental leave without a deduction from the salary with the approval of the employer, whether for Hajj, Umrah, or other purposes.
