The answer

The basic principle is the obligation to adhere to the condition agreed upon in the contract, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Violating a condition does not prohibit earnings for work that is in itself permissible; rather, accountability is only for violating the condition. It is permissible to work during the period of waiting for the certificate after completing studies, unless the university administration prohibits it.
