Cheating in job documents : a job earned after cheating
Fatawa Question
As-salaamu `Alaykum. I have been working in a company for 5 years now. During the first 3 years, I was a trainee and as a trainee I had to go through courses conducted by the company and take lots of exams conducted by the country regulatory authority. I had to pass all these exams in order pass out as a maintenance officer and continue working in the company. Failing any exam would result in being terminated from the company. I passed all the exams, but there was one exam that I passed with the help of a friend who works for the regulatory authority that conducts these exams. He had shown me the exam questions about an hour before the exam started. However, he did not give me the answers. I had to find the answers in my course books myself during an hour before the exam started. During the exam I managed to answer those questions and passed the exam. After 3 years of training, I was established as an officer. Is the money I earn from this job Halal or Haram ? If it is Haram, what should I do ? Should I leave the job and look for other jobs. Please, advise. Thank You.
