The Ruling on Helping Students Cheat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The third question is about a professor at a university who allows students to cheat. I do not know if the student is obligated to do so, or if many students do not rebuke the professor at the university if he allows students to cheat? The question is clear, thank you.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a teacher to allow students to cheat in the exam, because this is a form of betrayal and assistance in betrayal. This leads to harm for the student and for society, and it involves the falsification of certificates and of passing grades. Therefore, truthfulness and honesty are necessary. One who is lenient with students is not permissible to be made an invigilator; rather, he must be removed from the students. Yes.
