The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : And we are in the exam, the teacher came
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And we are in the exam, the teacher came to me and taught me, for example, the answer to this question is right, this question is wrong. Does this count as cheating or not?
The Shaykh : Yes. If the teacher comes to you while you are in the exams and tells you the answer, it is obligatory for you to report his matter to the administration so that they may discipline him, because he has in fact lost the trust that was placed in him. But is it permissible for you to take what he said? If you know that this is the answer from the start, there is no harm in it, no problem, because you relied on what? On your own knowledge. And if you do not know, I hesitate in this matter. I might say: it is permissible, because this is a provision that Allah has brought to you.
