It is impermissible to work in medical professions without being proficient in them, as this entails violating work regulations and exposing patients' lives to danger, in addition to lying, cheating, and forgery, which are forbidden in Islam. Furthermore, offering a bribe to falsify the required work documents is considered a betrayal of trust and an unlawful acquisition of wealth. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who gives a bribe and the one who takes it.
