The answer

If the worker agrees to waive some of his rights in the contract, then he is not entitled to claim anything other than what was agreed upon by both parties, due to the Almighty'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." Custom and common practice are considered in the absence of explicit statements to the contrary, but if a condition exists, it must be acted upon.
