Q: I have to visit KSA to conduct a workshop with customers and vendors. Customers and vendors requested to do workshops on weekends so we can save time and go to Umrah within this time line and requested to pay the same amount that will be saved by reducing the time of workshops and hotel accommodations so that we can manage our expenses for Umrah.
I requested the company for this favor, and the company approved it for the vendor and customer, but when asked for myself, they replied, "we will book a hotel for as per your request and grade limit." When I checked with the relevant person, he told me your limit is 300 AED for a single night. You can book by yourself by booking online and share the booking receipt, and we will pay you. I have calculated that amount and now want to go with another hotel that has a lower rate, some 150 AED, and the rest amount will be used for travel and food during Umrah. Maybe some money can be saved by this.
Can you please guide me? Is this halal or haram?
Q: Alhamdulillah, I have a job offer, but I am not sure if it is Islamic.
The working hours are 48 hours per week. I queried as to how many hours per day, I was told it is a 6 day a week job with the amount of hours per day, the timings and the number of shifts per day left up to the discretion of the employer.
My question is, is this arrangement permissible in Islam? Is it permissible for me to take up this job offer?
Q: I work as a manager for a Muslim man who at times stretches the time of his employees if it gets busy or is attending to personal work. He does not compensate them for extra time, and when the topic is brought up, he angrily dismisses it and says, "You are just standing doing nothing, so it’s not work." But I feel as long as they are in the shop, they are working, as they are not free to do as they like. What should I do ?

1. My original hours of work were 9 to 5 Monday to Friday. However to also avail myself for certain over and above takazas and mashwarah outside of my working times (failure to attend these outside of working time gatherings or takazas result in getting reprimanded).

2) After 6 months I was asked to work one weekend a month (Saturday and Sunday) with no additional pay for the two days.
Is this permissible in the shariah?
3. After another 8 months they called me into a meeting in which to take responsibility in another department which the person who was hired specifically for that purpose declined due to the nature of that work. I agreed to do so on certain conditions which were supposed to be met at the end of July. However at the end of July those conditions were not met and they said I should start in that position immediately as there was no one else to fulfill it and if I refuse then my original post would become refunded and they would have to cut down on staff.
The new position involves me relocating and changing my whole schedule to accommodate this new position. It involves longer hours and an additional weekend (now two weekends in the month).
Is it permissible in shariah for them to coerce me into this position and extract extra hours and weekends from me without discussing renumeration etc.?
Also, due to the criterion not being met at the end of July I'm forced to fulfill this position from 4 different locations and as I explained to them that this will be difficult they expect me still without discussing the renumeratiin and other logistics and how me accountable for any defaults. Is the above permissible in the shariah?
In addition to working for this organization you are not allowed to be actively involved in any other business or sundry activities in your own personal time. Is this permissible in the shariah?
