The answer

A permanent employment contract is a contract defined by a specific duration, which is reaching the age of retirement, and there is no objection to it. If the employer wishes to dismiss the worker or terminate the work before the end of the term, he must compensate the worker for the remaining period of his employment. As for the compensation imposed by the court, it cannot be ruled upon except after knowing its details. The ruler (ولي الأمر) may seize the property of an employer who evades paying his workers' rights and sell it to fulfill their rights. Similarly, the worker may take his right from the procrastinating employer's possessions if he seizes them.
