Doing personal work during work time

Q:

1. I work as a Technical Support on a transport concern. The work will be when the need arises and I fix them. There is some leisure time also. Can I read Quraan in that time?

2. I used to see some personal mails, social networking apps during this time, is it allowed to do that?

A:

1. Yes.

2. If it is your free leisure time and it is of a permissible nature then there is no problem.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
