Question

Is income halal with a qualification from academic misconduct?

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat explains the ruling on income earned from a job where the qualification was obtained through academic dishonesty.

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat pursued Arabic Grammar and Morphology alongside his English and History degree. Post-graduation, he deepened his studies in Damascus, learning Arabic, Hanafi Fiqh, Theology, and more under notable scholars like Shaykh Adnan Darwish and Shaykh Rashad Shams. He continued in Amman, expanding into Tafsir, Hadith, Prophetic Biography, and other Islamic sciences, guided by teachers such as Shaykh Ali Hani and Dr. Hamza al-Bakri.
