However:
A- If the jā‘il (reward provider) terminates it, the ‘āmil (worker) is entitled to compensation based on customary wages (ujrat al-mithl).
BENEFIT: the ruling depends on the timing:
- If the contract is terminated before the work begins, the employer owes nothing.
- If the termination occurs after the work has commenced, the worker is entitled to fair compensation (ujrat al-mithl) for the work completed.
EXAMPLE: If a person declares, "Whoever builds this wall for me will receive a certain amount of money," this is considered jaʿālah. If the employer cancels the agreement before the worker starts, no payment is due. However, if the contract is revoked after the worker has begun construction, they are entitled to fair compensation for the work done.
B- If the ‘āmil (worker) withdraws, he is not entitled to any compensation (as they have forfeited their right by failing to fulfill the conditions required for compensation)

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:
- It is permissible to designate the reward for a specific individual, just as it is permissible for an unspecified person.
- It is allowed to assign a known amount as a reward for one person and a greater or lesser amount for another.
- If a group of individuals return it, the reward is to be distributed equally among them.
- What is considered compensation in a rental contract may also serve as compensation in a reward-based agreement, whereas what is not permissible in the former is likewise impermissible in the latter.
- Any task for which compensation is allowed in a rental contract may also be compensated in a reward-based agreement, whereas tasks for which compensation is not permitted in the former are likewise impermissible in the latter.
