The question

Is it permissible for a student to obtain a sick leave certificate for previously absent days without precisely specifying the days of his illness? Is it permissible for him to pay money to an employee to submit this certificate? And is it permissible for him to ask the doctor to exaggerate the description of his symptoms to increase the likelihood of the certificate being accepted, due to the college's intransigence and his not receiving his rightful exam grades?

The answer

It is permissible to obtain a medical certificate for illness during examination days, provided there is truthfulness, without exaggerating the number of days or the severity of the illness. If it is not possible to obtain it except by paying money to the competent employee, then it is permissible to pay, and the sin will be on the recipient. Attention should be paid to the Ministry's instructions regarding the authority of the Head of Department to take appropriate measures in such cases.
