Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on reporting to the competent authorities a student who presents a forged certificate, or one who brings a scholarship belonging to someone else? The student justifies this by saying that it falls under the category of seeking knowledge, so there is nothing wrong with it?
Answer:
This is one of the matters of the educational system, and the competent authorities have follow-up procedures for such matters. And you, Allah has not tasked you with investigating people, yes.
