The Ruling on Cheating in Examinations

Question:
The student asks and says: What is the ruling on cheating in exams?

Answer:
It is not permissible to cheat in any of all things. This is general, applying to exams and other matters. A student of knowledge is even more obligated not to cheat, because he is a student of knowledge. If a student of knowledge cheats, this is a great calamity, because people trust him. Therefore, it is not permissible for a student of knowledge, or a student in exams, even if it is in worldly matters and worldly sciences, for him to cheat, because a believer does not betray and does not cheat. He is not one of us. This is general. Yes.
