The answer

The judiciary is the competent authority for settling disputes, because it is more capable of hearing the parties and understanding the facts and evidence, whereas the only hears from one party. In general, an employer has the right to withhold a worker's wages if the worker leaves the job before the contract term ends without an excuse, as he is not entitled to wages for what he refrained from doing, as mentioned by Ibn Qudamah.
