What is the ruling on job appointments made through nepotism and fraud, and where the qualification does not match the job requirements, and is it permissible to take the salaries resulting from them, and what should we do if we are compelled to take this money?

An exception to this is a case of extreme necessity if no other means are available to meet essential needs.
