Is it permissible to fake a pregnancy certificate to submit it to the recruitment office in order to bring one's mother to perform Umrah, and would that affect the mother's Umrah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Forging certificates is forbidden by the consensus of the Ummah because it is a form of lying, false speech, and false testimony, and it is one of the gravest major sins.
However, forging certificates does not affect the mother's ; it is a sin that pertains only to its perpetrator.
