Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If an employee is absent from his job for a necessary excuse, and then he presents a forged medical report because he will have no excuse other than this, is this excuse permissible for him?
Answer:
It is not permissible to forge; it is not permissible to lie; it is not permissible. He should state the truth and ask the manager or the person in charge for forgiveness and pardon. Yes.
