Is it permissible to violate college regulations and exploit the leniency of some lecturers in providing additional assessment opportunities? And is that considered cheating? And is it also considered cheating for lecturers to facilitate some procedures for students? Is it permissible to study from "exam papers" prepared by teaching assistants? What is the ruling on attending a lecture by a lecturer who goes beyond the bounds of etiquette, speaks ignorantly about religion, and insults some Islamists? And what should a student do if his father insists on his attendance?
It is permissible to benefit from the educational facilities provided by the teacher and the educational institution. However, it is not permissible to benefit from anything that the institution prohibits. It is not permissible to willingly attend gatherings of evil acts (munkarat) except out of necessity or to change the evil, for one who participates in evil is like one who commits it, as stated in the Quran and Sunnah. If there is a need to attend such lectures, there is no sin as long as one strives to denounce and advise against the evil.
