We would like to inform you that according to the Qatari Labor Law, there is no emergency leaves, as for travelling that requires NOC from the employer, otherwise you can't travel.
For the leaves, it is stipulated in the law as below:
Article (79)

This leave shall not be less than three weeks for the worker whose service is less than five years and four weeks for the worker whose service is more than five years.
The worker shall entitled to a leave for the fractions of the year in proportion to the period of his service.
Article (80)
The employer shall fix the date- of the annual leave for the worker in accordance with the work requirements and may divide the leave with the consent of the worker provided that the division shall not be into more than two periods.
The employer may on a written application of the worker postpone not more than half of the annual leave to the year following the year of its entitlement.
Article (81)
The worker may not waive his entitlement to the annual leave and any agreement to the contrary shall be void.
The worker shall be entitled to payment in lieu of his annual leave equivalent to his wage for the leave days to which he is entitled if the contract is terminated for any reason before the worker takes his leave.
Article (82)
The worker shall be entitled to a sick leave with pay for every year of the years of his service. This sick leave shall not be granted unless after three months from the commencement of his engagement for the first time provided that the worker proves his sickness by a certificate from a physician approved by the employer.
The worker shall be paid his full wage if the sick leave does not exceed two weeks. If the sick leave extends thereafter the worker shall be paid half of his wage for other four weeks. The extension of the sick leave thereafter shall be without pay until the worker resumes his work or resigns or his service is terminated for health reasons. The service of the worker may be terminated at the end of the twelfth week of the sick leave if it has been proved by a report’ issued by the competent physician that the worker is unable to resume his work at that time.

This also applies to death due to illness before the end of the six-week period.
