I work in a government department as an engineer and I have to accept
the work of the contractors. Sometimes there is some shortfall inthe
specifications, so I tell my boss at work, who in turn tells his
bosswho is in charge of the department, and he gives instructions to
overlook it and accept the work. What should I do from the shar'i
point of view if I obey my bossin this matter?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If an employee is entrusted with some work, then what he must do is
fulfil that trustproperly, because Allah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Verily, Allaah commandsthat you should render back the trusts to
those, to whom they are due"
[al-Nisa' 4:58].
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"Allah loves, when one of you does something, for him to do it well."
Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah,
1113.
Based on that, if this overlooking of specifications is something
minor that is usually overlooked in contractors' work, there is
nothing wrong with overlooking it.
But if it is very different from what is required, to the extent that
it may be regarded as deception or corruption,it is not permissible to
accept the work from the contractor unless one writes a report of the
shortcomings in which the contractor didnot adhere to the
specifications.
Even if in this case your boss instructs you to overlook it and accept
the work, it is not permissible for you to obey him, because he is
instructing you to deceive and lie, and the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no obedience to any
created being if it involves disobedience toAllah, may He be glorified
and exalted." Narrated by Ahmad (1098); classed as saheehby al-Albaani
in Silsilah al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah, 197
If you can refer the matter to those responsible so that they may take
appropriate measures, that will be a good thing. But if you are afraid
that one of them may harm you, then it is sufficient to refuse to
accept the work unless the faulty specifications are recorded. Then
you will have done what is required of you in your work, so that you
will not be accused of cheating or making a deal with the contractor
later on.
It should be noted that ifa person seeks to please Allah by angering
people, Allah will be pleased with him and will make the people
pleased with him.
So strive to please Allah, may He be exalted, and do not fear the
blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.
"And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a
way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
3. And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And
whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him. Verily,
Allaah will accomplish his purpose"
[al-Talaaq 65:2-3]
We ask Allah to help and guide you.
And Allah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
