Submitting false documents to obtain a job

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. A noble person says: One of the university girls found a teaching job in al-Kharj, and she obtained a proof of residence for it, and her father works in al-Kharj, knowing that she lives in Riyadh and her father works in Riyadh. She is able to submit the required documents, but they are not authentic. The question is: Is it permissible for her to submit the required documents to obtain the job? And is her salary considered forbidden in this case?

Answer:
This is not permissible; lying is not permissible. And a woman’s employment, and her going out of her house, this is not in her best interest. So how does she commit these prohibitions and this lying in order to obtain something that is not in her best interest?
By Allah, if a woman gets employed, and it is not in her best interest, but they only look at the money, and do not look at the prohibitions that follow from this in the future, what follows of the ruin of homes, and the ruin of children from upbringing, depriving them of their mother and her upbringing. So what I see for her is that she should not strive for the job unless it is facilitated without religious lying, and is close to her house, then there is no harm. But leaving it, even if she has it, leaving it is better, and her staying in her house with her children is a thousand times better for her. As for lying, it is not permissible.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
