Is the salary of one who succeeded through cheating lawful?

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Honorable Shaykh, ever since I knew what studying was at all its stages, I have been cheating in exams. Now I have finished my secondary education, and I have repented to Allah the Exalted after He guided me and I realized the gravity of what I was doing. The question remains on three points, Honorable Shaykh: Is it permissible for me to enroll in one of the colleges? Do I have the right to take a job with this certificate? And is the salary I receive lawful or forbidden? Please guide us, Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
You must repent to Allah and seek forgiveness for what happened. As for the job, if you will be able to perform the work as required, there is nothing wrong with you taking the job. Because the criterion is performing the work as required. So if you are able to perform the work as required, there is no harm in you taking the job. As for the academic deficiency and the weakness of your knowledge due to the cheating, you can continue your studies. Continue your studies according to your ability and according to what you can manage to attend, whether through open enrollment or by attending the gatherings of dhikr with the scholars in the mosques. You must complete what is lacking in your knowledge through much study and much beneficial reading.
As for the job, if you are able to perform the work as required, there is no harm in you taking the job. Yes.
