What is the ruling on studying at university with a high school certificate obtained through cheating?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Cheating is forbidden in Islam, and whoever cheats must repent to Allah and resolve not to return to it. What you did in high school was cheating, and since you have repented to Allah, you must excel in your university studies.
