The ruling on a job obtained through cheating on the exam and the ruling on being late for work

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life, we work in the government sector, and there is always lateness for work, and various things happen, so we do not know whether the salary is lawful or forbidden. Also, during our studies, to be frank, we used to rely on a colleague to help us with the exam and such. So what is the sufficient answer, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
As for the job and employment, if you perform the work as required, if you cheated on the exam, you have sinned by cheating on the exam, but if you perform the job duties as required, your conscience is cleared by that. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. Now, regarding the issue of being late for work, and your manager, for example, does not know about it, and such?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for you to be late for work, because you receive a salary in exchange for the minutes of your work time, so it is not permissible for you to be late for work without an excuse. Yes.
