Money Earned Through Unlawful Means

Question
My son at university is solving exams for his friends, and one of them told him: Solve the exam for me and I will give you 70 dinars. Is this lawful or unlawful?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: this is forbidden; because it is a form of deception and betrayal, and the money earned from it is impure and must be given in charity, and God knows best.
