I found out you can use mandolin tab to play on oud, for example happy birthday, check it out

Nice find! I didn't think it would work but I found some octave mandolin tab for "Ode to Joy" and it worked as well. Fantastic!

How can it work if the mandolin tunes on fifths and the oud on fourths?

Hmmm, idk, happy birthday worked

Only can work if you misinterpret the tab and consider the 1 to be the string most grave. The melody will be altered because it fall down when it is
supposed to go up.
