I am an indian but working in dubai. I have a question and confusion in my mind about my over time earning. My duty timing is 7:30 am to 5 pm but my manager force me to do overtime work (untill 7 pm) but due to my phisical and mentally tiredness or some times due to mood less i cannt concentrate on my work so many times I just seat in the office and I get overtime money for that therefore please advice me what to do.

(Fatwa: 303/305=LM)
The money you are getting is against work, if you are not working in those extra times then you are not entitled to receive the payment for the same:
