What is the ruling on forging a lecturer's signature in the attendance logbook for the purpose of taking a master's examination, knowing that the college administration is aware of this and refuses to allow entry to the examination without this logbook?

Forging the lecturer's signature in the attendance log to prove a student's presence is an act of forgery, a lie, and an infringement upon the lecturer. The student who is affected by the attendance requirement should endeavor to persuade the college to reduce the lecture hours or overlook absences, as lying and forgery are not permissible in this instance.
