Q 1: Some employees and workers do not do the work entrusted to them with the required enthusiasm to the extent that some of them may spend a year or more while not advising others about what is good or forbidding of what is evil. Some of them may even come to work late under the pretext of having permission from the manager and therefore they do not see any harm for doing so. Are such persons with the aforementioned characteristics religiously blameworthy? Please give us Fatwa in this regard. May Allah reward you best!
A: First, a Muslim, man and woman, should convey Islamic teachings to others. This is indicated by Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) who said, "May Allah brighten (the face of) a person who hears my words, comprehends them, and then conveys them as he/she has heard them." And he (peace be upon him) said: Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single Ayah (Qur'anic Verse).
Verily, Allâh commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due
Three are the signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he tells a lie; when he makes a promise, he acts treacherously; and when he is trusted, he betrays.
