The answer

It is not permissible for an employee to write incorrect data, even if ordered to do so, because it involves lying and forgery. There is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. Officials must be advised and reminded of the impermissibility of such actions. The earnings are lawful because the original work is permissible. What has passed concerning the writing of incorrect data is hoped to be forgiven if it did not result in injustice. It is necessary to repent from this by refraining from the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. If the administration insists on forgery in the future, it is obligatory to refuse, even if it leads to leaving the job.
