The ruling on the sale of certificates by some private institutes

Question:
May Allah reward you. We are taking a call from Abu Bandar from al-Ta'if. Go ahead, Abu Bandar. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Raise your voice a little, Abu Bandar. Go ahead. And upon you be peace. Yes. How are you, may you live long? Go ahead. There is a job I am applying for, and it requires a computer certificate. The computer program at a private institute sells it for one thousand and five hundred riyals. Is it permissible to take the exam at this private institute, pay the one thousand and five hundred, get the certificate, and apply for the job, or is it not permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible, my brother. This is cheating, and it is not permissible. You must report this person who is selling certificates. He is a cheater who takes money by unlawful means, and this is not permissible. Yes.
