Summary

The fatwa treats a KPI as an indicator or guide for accomplishing an entrusted task, not as the trust itself. An employee who fails to meet it through laziness or negligence is considered sinful for deliberately neglecting duties. An employee who fails despite sincere effort, due to inability, is not considered sinful.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Justeru, sekiranya seorang pekerja dengan sengaja mengabaikan tugasannya, maka dia dikira berdosa dan begitu juga sebaliknya.
