Is it obligatory to adhere to an agreement to deduct one month's dues in exchange for expediting the sponsorship transfer, or should one act according to the Ministry of Labor system, which stipulates receiving full dues without deduction?
Employers must pay employees' wages on time, and it is forbidden to delay them, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give the laborer his wages before his sweat dries." If the company faces an emergency that prevents it from paying salaries, it is obligatory to grant it respite, based on the Almighty's saying: "And if there is one in adversity, then [let there be] a delay until a time of ease."
The basic principle is the obligation to fulfill the lease contract, so it is not permissible to terminate it before its term except with the consent of both parties. However, if the company goes bankrupt or finds it impossible to pay salaries, the employee has the right to terminate the contract. If the condition under which you waived a portion of your dues is not fulfilled, you are not obligated to waive it, and you have the right to demand all your dues.
