Cheating is forbidden in everything. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam) This applies to exams and other matters. It is not permissible for supervisors to be lenient with students regarding cheating; rather, they must be firm and prevent students from cheating. If someone cheats, he is punished in a way that deters him from it, according to the regulations. This is according to the academic regulations. Yes.
