What is the ruling on obtaining a fictitious certificate of experience to work abroad, knowing that there are no job opportunities within the country and there is an urgent need for the job?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to create this certificate because it involves lying and deception. The questioner should have a good opinion of Allah and fear Him, so that He may make a way out for him. Provision is predetermined and will undoubtedly reach him. He should, however, take lawful means.
