Is it permissible for an employee to receive a salary during the COVID-19 lockdown period even if they are not performing work during that time?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if the contract between the administration and the employee is like a contract with a driver, where payment is due only if the work (e.g., transporting a student) is performed, then the employee earns the wage according to the actual work done if conditions allow it. However, if the contract stipulates that the employee is entitled to the salary whether they work or not due to an obstacle imposed by the administration, as in general government jobs, then the employee is entitled to the full salary. Allah knows best.

Does the following deserve the salary, if: First: If the government employee cannot reach his department for an emergency reason on that day? Second: The teacher or professor is present at his school or at the university, but the students did not attend the lecture that day?
Answer
In the name of Allah, the employee is a salaried employee who deserves the monthly salary - the fee. Once the contract is written and the employer is fully employed for the entire period of work according to what was stated in the lease contract, he must remain in the department even if there is no work. As for the employer who was unable to reach the department as mentioned in the question, he is required to work in the amount of time in which he was unable to reach. And his inability to reach only removes the religious punishment, but his liability remains in terms of work. Thus, he must make up for that time after agreeing with the employer - the director of the department - and if he does not, he deserves the punishment by Allah Almighty and is held accountable by the employer. Allah knows best.

We are a group of teachers asking your eminence about our religious position regarding the issue of private teaching process, taking into account that we do not teach the same students who are in our school but rather from outside the school (from other schools or external students) and as it is clear that students are different levels. We take fees for that. So we would like to know your rational opinion, is it a fatwa or a precaution?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if the student needs such a tutoring and he cannot for some reason or another be satisfied with the school due to deficiency in the school or in the teachers in his school, then it is permissible. Allah is the all Guide and Knowing.
