The Teacher's Clarification of the Correct Answer for the Student in the Exam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a teacher who asks: Is it permissible for a teacher, if a student in the examination hall asks him about an answer he wrote whether it is correct, for the teacher to leave it as he wrote it, or if it is wrong, to try to find the correct one? Does the teacher’s indication of this kind count as cheating, given that the teacher does not provide any information to the student?
Answer:
There is no doubt that this is cheating, if he indicates to him the correct answer and the wrong answer, or if he indicates to him the error and that it is not correct, even if he does not indicate to him the correct answer. This is considered cheating. He should leave it alone. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
