AL-KAFI #287 : MENGGUNAKAN INTERNET PEJABAT UNTUK KEGUNAAN RENCAM
Is it misuse of office facilities to use the office internet during work hours to watch religious lectures on YouTube?
Short answer
The practice is not problematic if it is intended for human capital development, such as increasing knowledge and skills that are eventually used to teach in class.

Summary
The practice is not problematic if it is intended for human capital development, such as increasing knowledge and skills that are eventually used to teach in class. However, one must be careful about the time spent, electricity and equipment used. Use for personal interests unrelated to human capital development should be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hal demikian tidak bermasalah jika diniatkan untuk tujuan kemajuan modal insani seperti menambah ilmu dan kemahiran yang akhirnya digunakan dalam kelas untuk mengajar.
