Every job has its own specific custom. Minor breaks for drinking tea, eating, and similar activities that do not disrupt the work are excused. A person has a certain capacity and cannot work beyond it without difficulty. Customs vary according to the nature of the work; some jobs may require a break for the employee. The rule in this matter refers back to custom. One must fear Allah and perform the work as fulfillment of the contract, for Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts."
