It is permissible to relinquish the right to work in the capital in exchange for financial compensation, because it falls under the category of waiving rights. Some jurists have permitted this, such as the Maliki school allowing compensation for the right of pre-emption, and some Hanafis allowing compensation for official positions. Another example is a woman relinquishing her day to her co-wife for compensation. This is known as "al-ifragh" or "al-faragh" in the terminology of jurists, and it means relinquishing a right in exchange for money.
