The answer

The condition stipulated by the employer, which prohibits working for another entity, must be fulfilled, based on Allah's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their conditions, except for a condition that makes a Haram thing Halal or a Halal thing Haram." This is also because the default rule for contracts and conditions is permissibility and validity. Furthermore, this condition serves a purpose for the employer, ensuring the worker's ability to perform their job efficiently. Therefore, it is not permissible to engage in another job without the employer's permission.
