Is money earned from preparing research papers for female students permissible, taking into account the concealment that the student herself is doing the work and not a library?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for a female student to do research for her friends in exchange for payment if the school does not allow it, because it is considered cheating. However, if the school permits seeking assistance from libraries or individuals in preparing research, then there is no harm in that. It is permissible to help female students in preparing their research by providing materials or printing in exchange for payment, provided there is honesty in the transaction.
