What is the ruling on students translating texts if the translation is part of the research and not the entire research?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle regarding translation is permissibility for permissible materials. However, it is not permissible for students if it falls within the scope of their examination, whether for the entire research or part of it, due to the element of deception involved. Instead, they are required to study and understand it themselves.
