Hajj & Umrah Support (Staff)
Assesses the organization's policy for supporting staff in fulfilling the obligatory Hajj and voluntary Umrah. A clear, just policy demonstrates Iḥsān by enabling this core tenet of faith, which positively impacts employee well-being and loyalty, ensuring operational harmony through fair planning. Balance facilitation with operational continuity under the maxim 'la darar wa la dirar'—enable Hajj without causing undue harm to service delivery, achieved through handover and coverage planning. Where operational limits apply, refusals must be based on documented service risk and demonstrated to be proportionate (least-restrictive option), reflecting both 'la darar wa la dirar' and Equality Act objective justification.
