My managers are aware that i dont have any work to do.

Can I stay back at home without applying any leave?

Answer

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

Brother in Islaam,

We take note of the details of your email. You state that you are employed at an office and because there is no work, you wish to stay back at home without applying for leave. Your employer or manager will best be able to answer your query. Refer to him.

And Allaah Ta’aala Knows Best.
