Helping students by answering their questions during an exam is considered cheating

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah prolong your life in obedience. What is the ruling if a teacher informs the students of the answers during the exam?

The Shaykh:
This is cheating, and it must be prevented. The one who informed the students of this should be disciplined. This is cheating, and it is not permissible for him to teach them the answers.

The questioner:
May Allah prolong your life. What if I heard the answer, and I had no intention of cheating?

The Shaykh:
You should write what you know. Write what is in your memory, and report the one who is cheating the students. Report him; do not stay silent about it, because this is wrong, and it is obligatory to forbid it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. I see apostasy in it.
