Question

I want to ask if it is halal and permissible by law to get paid to do someones homework, college and university assignments, thesis and so on. Students hire us and provide us the material/structure or question given by a professor or teacher and we write answers for them with a fee. I work for the company who provides this service to international students. Should I leave this job or wait until I get another one?

Answer

If the articles that are prepared are of a permissible nature then it is halaal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
