Observing Trustworthiness in the Leaking of Exam Questions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The honorable Shaykh, there is a method in schools for explaining the curriculum before the final exam, which takes place about a month prior. A specific amount of money is charged to the student to study with it, and the intention is school reinforcement. However, in recent years, the meaning of reinforcement has become: pay and you will pass. Most of the reinforcement students pass because the teacher gives them part of the exam questions without authorization. For example, if he gives the general students thirty questions, he removes half of them for the reinforcement students. If he gives them four composition pieces, he gives the reinforcement students only one piece. Then, in the end, he threatens the reinforcement students with a deduction of two points, for example, if they inform those who did not register for reinforcement about this information. What is your guidance for these teachers? And is it permissible for someone who did not register and did not pay to take the notebook from one of the students after the end of the reinforcement? May Allah reward you with good.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
It is known that the Ministry of Education strictly prohibits these lessons—reinforcement lessons.And based on this: It is obligatory for whoever knows about this teacher who teaches students reinforcement lessons to report him, and it is not permissible for him to remain silent; because this is betrayal and rebellion against the orders of the rulers.
So I say to those who do what I mentioned: In reality, they are violating the orders of their rulers; and thereby they become disobedient to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and traitors; because they teach these students and then inform them of the questions that will be set. And perhaps they overlook their error in answering, as you mentioned in the question that the correct title for such a situation is: pay and you will pass. So I warn these people that what they have done is betrayal and disobedience to Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and the money they have acquired through it is haram (forbidden) for them. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for them. This is regarding these violators.
As for the one who knows about their situation, it is obligatory for him to report them and not remain silent.
