The Ruling on Cheating in the English Subject
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a student in one of the colleges in the city of Riyadh, and I observe some students cheating in the exams, especially in certain subjects, such as the English language subject, for example. When I discuss this with them, they say that cheating in the English language subject is not forbidden, and that some scholars have issued a fatwa to that effect. I ask for your guidance regarding this act and this fatwa?
Answer:
It is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2225Da'if (Darussalam), and this encompasses cheating in transactions and cheating in exams, and it encompasses English and other subjects. Therefore, it is not permissible for male or female students to cheat in all subjects, due to the generality of this hadith and what has come in its meaning. And success is from Allah.

Whoever cheats us is not one of us.
