Is money acquired from altering an official document—to change its data in order to obtain an identity for another person—lawful or unlawful?

It is not permissible to modify document data, as this involves forgery, lying, deception, and fraud, which are forbidden by Sharia, based on the Almighty's saying: "And shun false statements" (Quran 22:30), and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Beware! And false statement, and false witness," and "Whoever cheats is not one of us." Money earned from forgery is forbidden, because "If Allah forbids something, He also forbids its price." Therefore, we recommend fearing Allah and not earning through forgery, as sins are not a path to obtaining good.
