Ruling on Reciting the Qur’aan during Working Hours



Question: If an employee has discharged the job that was assigned to him and he intends to benefit from the working hours by reciting the Qur’aan or reading something beneficial or he intends to take a nap in order to rest a little, is there anything upon him [of sin]?

Response: There is nothing upon him as long as he has discharged the job that was assigned to him. But if he is negligent or falls short in discharging his job, then such is unlawful and it is not permissible. As regards taking a nap, there is no concession for him regarding it, because he does not have control over himself as he may sleep through his work without perceiving it.
