The answer

It is not permissible to defraud the work system by taking sick leave without being ill in order to take exams, because Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly," and because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats is not one of us."
