The Ruling on Cheating in Examinations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Now, the second question: What is the ruling on cheating in an exam?

Answer:
Cheating is forbidden; it is absolutely forbidden in exams and in other matters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever cheats is not one of us." Cheating in exams is more severe because the person will take on the affairs of the Muslims, yet he was not properly tested; rather, he has a forged certificate. Yes.
