The Ruling on Adding False Qualifications to a Resume

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I was granted a new job, and on the second day I discovered that someone had added skills and experiences to my resume that I do not possess. So when I told him that this was a lie—and he is my manager at work, and he is the one who recommended me to the company that wants to contract with me—he said to me, "There is no harm; I will teach you these skills." All of this was done without the knowledge of the company owner, that is, the owner of the contract, the first party.

Answer:
This is not permissible for you. This is a lie, and it is not permissible for you except to inform the employer. If he is pleased that you remain, praise be to Allah. If he is not pleased, then you absolve yourself of responsibility and leave the job. This is because you entered it through falsification; you entered it through falsification and lying, and this is not permissible. This is deception and fraud against the employer. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
