Does a female teacher incur sin if she buys a sick leave certificate from another hospital without a medical examination, due to the first hospital's refusal to grant her additional leave after her miscarriage and her physical and psychological exhaustion? And is she required to give charity for those days?

Purchasing a sick leave certificate from a hospital without being entitled to it is a forbidden forgery. One must repent from it and return the salary paid for those days to the responsible party. It is not permissible to give it as charity if it is possible to return it.
