If you see this student cheating or trying to cheat, is it obligatory for you to report him, or do you say: the matter is entrusted to others and is the responsibility of others?

The Shaykh : Here is a matter that students ask about. They say: If you see this student cheating or trying to cheat, is it obligatory for you to report him? Or do you say the matter is entrusted to others and is the responsibility of others? What is your answer to this? I am asking you? Yes? The student sees his classmate cheating or trying to cheat, is he obligated to report him or is he not obligated? Yes, good. He is obligated to report him, it is necessary, because this falls under the category of cooperating in righteousness and piety. This lazy, failing student, if he cheats, who will he overcome? The diligent, successful student. And this is injustice, and removing injustice is obligatory, obligatory. So you must report him. But what is the way? The student may be weak in the face of the other student who cheated, and he may fear that he will harm him. So we say it is possible to report by writing, a small piece of paper he gives to the proctor without the student noticing. And if this is not possible, then after the lesson ends, he goes to the person in charge at the school and informs him. And if he informs him, his conscience is cleared. As for remaining silent about a wrong matter and injustice to others, this is not permissible. This is what concerns examinations.
