What is the ruling on female teachers taking from the nutrition allocated for schools, by means of falsifying attendance records?
Consuming haram things—eating, drinking, and wearing—is forbidden. The prohibition intensifies if it involves forgery, deception, and trickery to unlawfully seize what is not one's right. As it is stated in the Hadith: "Do not commit what the Jews committed, for you would then legalize Allah's prohibitions through the slightest of stratagems." Therefore, one must repent to Allah and return what was taken, or its equivalent value, to its rightful owner.
