The answer

An employment contract is binding on both parties and cannot be revoked except with their mutual consent. The employee is bound by the contract duration. There are two exceptions to this: 1. If the contract permits termination with prior notice. 2. Termination of the contract due to compelling circumstances.

If the employee leaves work before the end of the agreed-upon period, they are only entitled to the salary for the days they worked, and they have no right to the salary for the remaining period or any compensation. They must abide by the contract, as Allah Almighty says: ﴿O YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED, FULFILL [YOUR] CONTRACTS.﴾ If they take what they are not entitled to through judicial means, it is unlawful for them.
