Is it permissible to conceal some work experiences in a job interview, and what is the ruling on the salary earned from a job obtained by concealing this information?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Concealing some practical experiences in a CV has two scenarios:

The first: If the employer stipulates the ذكر [mention] of all experiences, then it is obligatory to adhere to this condition, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Muslims are bound by their conditions."

The second: If there is no such stipulation and the applicant does not intend to deceive, then there is no harm in concealing experiences whose concealment does not harm the work and about which one was not explicitly asked, as long as what is mentioned is true and contains no falsehood.
