What is the ruling on completing a master's thesis in which some of the results' values were altered to conform with previous studies, and is the money earned from working with this degree considered unlawful, and am I obligated to give charity for this deception?

Cheating and deception are forbidden in Islam, and whoever cheats is not one of us [Muslims]. A Muslim must avoid lying and cheating. Whoever cheated in their studies should rectify the situation if possible, even if it leads to a delay in graduation, as this is a form of repentance. If they are unable to do so, they must seek forgiveness, show remorse, and resolve not to return to cheating. As for working with the certificate and the resulting salary, there is no harm in it.
