What is the ruling on sick leave in the event of my children's illness?
A sick leave for an employee is granted due to their illness, supported by a medical report. It is not permissible to take it falsely or by fabricating an illness for one's children. The solution is to explain the circumstances to the responsible authority and request a regular or emergency leave. If that is not possible, and the need for the patient is severe, and work is essential, then it is permissible to resort to sick leave to avert harm.
