It is not permissible for companies to circumvent regulations by registering the names of citizens and paying them salaries without assigning them actual work, merely to avoid employing a certain percentage of citizens. Companies must fulfill the agreed-upon conditions, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Muslims are bound by their conditions." Likewise, it is not permissible to cooperate with these companies in their deceit, for Allah Almighty says: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
