Forging and cheating are not permissible, as they are forbidden in Islamic law. This falls under false testimony, which is mentioned in the Quran and . This includes forging documents and records, changing production dates, country of origin, or expiry dates. "Whoever cheats is not one of us." This act contradicts the principle that "religion is advice." It must be avoided, and one should not assist in it. "Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better."
