Is it permissible for a female student who obtained exam questions in advance for some subjects to continue her studies, or must she discontinue them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner made a mistake by seeking to obtain exam questions before taking the exams, as this constitutes forbidden deception, based on the Prophet’s (PBUH) saying: "Whoever deceives is not of me." She must offer sincere repentance without expiation, and she is permitted to complete her studies if she commits to not cheating in the future.
