The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a girl who says: I am a university student, and today, Honorable Shaykh, I had an exam, and while answering one of the questions.
The Shaykh:
Sunnah?
The questioner:
She says: I am a university student, and on this day I had an exam, and while answering the questions, I doubted my answer to one question, so I asked the subject teacher, and she answered me about this question. What is the ruling on my action and her action?
The Shaykh:
As long as you submitted the answer, wrote it down, and handed it to the officials, and you are asking whether it is correct or not, there is no harm in that, merely for the sake of checking. But if the intention is that you are hinting to the teacher or the official to be lenient with the answer if there is an error in it, that is not permissible. Yes.
