What is the ruling on retesting female students to raise their grades in school?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Now, Honorable Shaykh, she says that she works as a teacher in a school for girls. She says that during the exam, the girls might get, for example, low results. She says: If I retest them so they can correct their information and increase their grades, is there a sin on me?

Answer : There is a sin on her, because this is forbidden. Otherwise, what is the benefit of the exam? If we want the student to reach passing, what is the benefit of the exam?

The presenter : Praise be to Allah. It is forbidden. No harm, just. It is prohibited and forbidden. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
