The Ruling on Cheating in Examinations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks, may Allah preserve you, about cheating in exams, and whether it is what is prohibited as reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Cheating in exams is not permissible; cheating is not permissible in anything. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam) So cheating is not among the characteristics of Muslims in anything. It is obligatory to give advice; religion is advice. We said: To whom, O Messenger of Allah? He said: To Allah Sahih Muslim 55a. And cheating in exams is even more so; because in seeking knowledge, cheating is not permissible, and the student of knowledge is the most deserving of people of integrity and distance from cheating, lying, and deception.
