The answer

Fabricating certificates is a forbidden deception and forgery, based on the Almighty's saying: "So avoid the word of falsehood," and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats is not of us," and "Beware, and (do not commit) false speech and false witness." It is not permissible to cheat and forge to please a mother or exploit her financial support, for pleasing the creature by displeasing the Creator leads to the displeasure of Allah and people. One must strive in study and be truthful in word and deed.
