Is it permissible for a physician in the Egyptian Ministry of Health to forge his work certificate in order to circumvent a decision that prevents him from preparing for a master's degree for three years, so as to be equal to his colleagues in the university faculty who are allowed to prepare immediately?

The answer

Forgery is forbidden because it involves lying and bearing false witness, and it is one of the gravest major sins, like associating partners with Allah and being undutiful to one's parents. The submission of a forged certificate by a doctor or similar professionals falls under forbidden forgery. They must adhere to the stipulated conditions and demand the removal of injustice without resorting to prohibited means.
