Dr. Monzer Kahf, a prominent economist and counselor states: “It is known in office work that the employee uses some time for personal matters and this is usually measured and accounted for in all businesses. Using assistants and helpers to do some of this business depends on the nature of the work relations. Some kinds of works always implicitly and sometimes explicitly assume the use of helper for some personal matters. In those kinds of businesses/ contract it is permissible to use the helper for personal matters within the usual and customary level. Otherwise it is not permissible to do it.“
