What you receive for your work is lawful if it is limited to taking reports and sending them to your company, and your company has authorized the workers in the other laboratory to conduct those tests. However, if your work involves conducting tests and writing reports about them, and no one else is permitted to do so, then what you receive is unlawful due to your negligence in performing the work and others doing it without your company's permission, and this is deception. Seek Allah's forgiveness and rectify what you have done. Allah Almighty says: (O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives us is not of us."
