The guarantor increasing the contract value so that he can benefit from it

Fatwa number ( 17125 )
Q: What do the honorable scholars say about my desire to bring my children and wife over, which requires that in the sponsorship paperwork, my sponsor write a contract between us for an amount greater than the salary he actually pays me monthly? For example, the contract sent in the sponsorship documents might be for 3,000 Saudi riyals, while he only gives me 2,000 Saudi riyals as my actual monthly salary. Is this considered a form of lying? Even though the lying is not intentional in this case, and the primary and ultimate aim is to complete the paperwork officially so that the sponsorship can be finalized.
A: This is forgery, lying, and transgressing the directives of the one in authority, which regulate the sponsorship of workers according to conditions of public benefit. Therefore, it is not permissible to exceed them. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
