Falsifying medical certificates is Islamically forbidden. The fatwa cited Quranic verses and Prophetic traditions that prohibit bearing false witness and deception. The prevalence of falsification among students does not justify the act, because the intention to reach the truth does not permit falsification. Therefore, one must fear Allah, be patient, avoid falsification, strive hard in studies, and supplicate sincerely for the facilitation of good.
