What is the ruling on an employee taking sick leave as a cover for his absence from work due to transportation circumstances, and what is the ruling on the wages he received for the days he did not perform work in the event of continued administrative procrastination?

The employee is a private hire (a specific type of employee) who is entitled to his wage if he makes himself available for work. If he does not attend, he is not entitled to the salary. It is not permissible for the employee to obtain sick leave unless he is actually sick. However, if the administration demands a justification for his absence and threatens to dismiss him from work if he does not provide a satisfactory excuse, then he may bring a sick leave certificate, because lying is permissible to avert harm and achieve a benefit, provided it does not harm others. The salary received during this period is not lawful for him, and he must donate it as charity. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned the permissibility of a person lying to himself and others if it does not involve harm to those others.
