What is the ruling on purchasing accredited professional certificates from official bodies, which are issued by educational institutions for a fee to professionals who do not possess documents proving their experience, and what is the ruling on working in their sale?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the certificate includes forgery, falsehood, or fraud, then it is a false testimony (shahadat az-zur), and it is not permissible to obtain it. However, if it is free from these prohibitions, then the fact that it is for a financial consideration does not affect the permissibility of obtaining it.
