The answer

By virtue of his residence in those lands, a Muslim is obliged to respect laws that do not contradict the , and it is not permissible to violate them because one of the conditions for granting residency is respect for the law. Allah has commanded fulfilling contracts: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims are bound by their stipulations." Based on this, you are not permitted to work as long as you have committed to this condition by obtaining the visa.
