What is the ruling on signing a declaration not to enroll in another university in order to obtain a postgraduate diploma, knowing that a master's degree requires many years? Is obtaining this second certificate permissible? What is the ruling on desiring to obtain more than one academic certificate at the same time and violating university regulations? What is the ruling on taking exams without meeting the required attendance percentage?

It is not permissible to lie in declaring that you are not enrolled in a study program at another university, nor is it permissible to violate university regulations regarding enrollment in more than one program or taking an exam without fulfilling the attendance requirement. The basic principle is to adhere to these regulations as long as they do not contradict Islamic law. However, if they are imposed out of obstructionism and not for a legitimate interest, then it is permissible to resort to stratagem to obtain the right to beneficial study. The judgment as to whether something is for a legitimate interest or an act of obstructionism should be referred to trustworthy scholars in your country. Violating some of these regulations does not invalidate the certificate or render its benefit impermissible.
