Does money become unlawful, and what should I do if I am forced to enter university with falsified grades due to my parents' insistence, knowing that my current grades qualify me to enter it?

Obtaining high academic grades through cheating and bribery is forbidden, based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever cheats is not one of us." This is because it involves deception and undermines the educational system, constituting injustice and betrayal towards the Ummah. It is not permissible to take on a job or accept money in exchange for such actions. It is better for your grades to drop and for you to enter another college than to engage in such cheating.
