What is the ruling on saving constant numbers for scientific materials in a calculator, and is that considered cheating, given that the use of a calculator is permitted in exams?
Cheating is forbidden in exams and other situations, based on the words of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever cheats is not from me." Cheating in tests includes copying from books, taking information from other students, or giving them information. Storing numbers on a calculator and using them in an exam is considered cheating if it is prohibited and the student is required to memorize them.
