Working with a Forged Certificate
A woman whose son bought an engineering certificate from a foreign country with the help of one of his foreign friends for a certain amount, and he is now working with this forged certificate, earning large sums of money from it. Is his money considered haram?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This gain is corrupt; due to the deceit, fraud, forgery, and corruption involved; because if they knew that he did not possess a certificate, they would not agree to his work, nor would they give him this salary, and God knows best.
