Is concealing one's Master's specialization from the CV in order to qualify for an interview considered an injustice to others? Is it permissible for the candidate to complete the interview while informing the committee of this? And is the salary resulting from this employment lawful?

"It is feared that concealing one's specialization involves deception and injustice to competitors, especially if declaring the specialization is a condition for application. Therefore, for piety and safety, resubmit your CV clarifying your specialization. As for the salary, its permissibility is not affected by what you did if you are fulfilling your entrusted duties as required."
