The answer

Dismissal from work or termination of a lease contract is not absolutely considered an injustice; rather, it depends on the terms of the contract and the circumstances of the dismissal. If the lease is for a specified period, both parties must fulfill it because the contract is binding, and it may not be terminated except for a legitimate excuse, which is the view of the majority of scholars. If the company dismisses the questioner without a legitimate excuse, he is entitled to the agreed-upon wage. However, if the contract is for an unspecified period, it is not binding on either party, and either may terminate it, unless the lessee has begun the period or paid the rent, in which case the contract becomes binding.
