Is it permissible to benefit from exam questions that were obtained in a dubious manner?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sample exams help to understand the exam's concept and practice solving it, and benefiting from them is permissible. However, if the samples are leaked from the exam administration, it is not permissible to benefit from them because that is considered cheating, and the matter must be reported to the responsible authorities.
