Forging a document to earn a job
Question
To qualify for CA (Chartered Accountant) in Bangladesh, one has to pass 17 papers and also complete 2 or 3 or 4 years of article ship (practical training). Now my friend has passed the CA exam by passing all the 17 papers by giving the exam in the most ethical manner as possible but he did a dummy article ship (forged article ship documents).
Now he got a halal job because he is a qualified CA. Without doing the article ship, one cannot give the last level of CA exam (last three exams). Is his income halal as he forged the article ship document?
Answer
If he is capable to fulfil the work for which he is employed, then the income will be halaal, though he should make taubah for forging the articleship documents.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
