Does cheating on an exam during the holy month invalidate one's fast, and what are the consequences if it does?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Cheating is Islamically forbidden, whether in exams or otherwise. It does not affect the validity of the fast or its invalidation, but it may diminish the reward of the fasting person. Whoever commits it must repent and be cautious not to return to it.
