Question

The monthly salary of the Imam of our mosque is 1500 rupees. He was given a fortnight's leave every two months. When Imam Sahib went home on holiday, he was late for 2/1 days despite his reluctance to come. As a result, the secretary of the mosque deducted money from his salary. In other words, he deducts the salary for the few days he earns. Will it be valid according to Shariah? 4185389757

According to the Shari'ah, the next transaction will be as per the terms and conditions. As such, if the employee has a condition from the authorities that if he is absent without leave, his salary will be deducted and he accepts the job knowingly, then it will be permissible to deduct his salary for violating the rules. However, if there is no prior agreement, the salary will not be deducted. In general, Mu'amala will be effective as per the preconditions. Because it is permissible to appoint an imam subject to conditions for mutawalli or committee. The imam can also accept the job by accepting that condition. Therefore, his salary can be deducted if the rules are not followed. However, the humanitarian duty of the mosque authorities is that if such difficulties arise from time to time and it is due to any special difficulty, then the leave should be granted without deducting the salary for 2/1 days. Because, Imam is the best friend for them in the eyes of religion. It is their responsibility and duty to keep an eye on his problems. If they perform this duty, Allah will bestow special grace on them. And it is the duty of the Imam not to prove himself irresponsible by showing reluctance to perform his duties without any excuse. 7583174598
