The answer

You must repent to Allah Almighty for forgery and deception, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives is not of me." After repentance, there is no harm in working with a university degree that is not forged, provided the work is done proficiently and its rights are fulfilled.
