Exam Cheating, University Admission, Huqooq Ul Ibad
@Irfan76 sir if for suppose someone else was having more skill than and me and didn’t cheat in exam and he could have gotten the admission but he didn’t. so he missed on something that could potentially be his, in this case I would be having some responsibility of sin (if I was not truly in compulsion to cheat), but I do not need to get rid of admission and leave university because it’s not like he already had ownership to that thing and I stole it. just like a stolen car, if I take it then it belongs to it’s owner and I have to get rid of it any how. but in this case because admission was not given to him, it was not under his ownership. (it could have been potentially given to him, if I had not cheated). so here it’s not like after repentance I have to get rid of admission anyhow, right sir?
@Irfan76 and sir there’s a few more side questions regarding these themes that I wanted to ask. one of them is that. If Ahmad’s car is stolen by Rehan, we say that this car is Ahmad’s property and right. and even if Rehan keeps it for years and years. it will remain Haram for Rehan to keep it, because this originally belongs to Ahmad and it is not the property of Rehan so he has no right to use it or keep it. and if he uses it further, he’ll get sin further. Similarly, if a person after his admission like this in university, spending half his time already in university. really realizes for example that such and such particular person’s right was usurped because he didn’t cheat and had I not cheat also this particular man would have received admission. so in this case will the continuation of studying in this university also be termed Haram by saying that this does not belong to you, it belongs to that man, and the further you use it the more sin you’ll get. will his continuation of studying be termed Haram analogously to the usage of car being Haram on Rehan? we also term this man who cheated in exam and got admission, as “you usurped someone’s right”. and we also term Rehan that he “usurped someone’s right by stealing”. as the continuation of use car will be haram for Rehan, as the car is “someone else’s right”… will the continuation of studying in university also be terms Haram under remaining “someone else’s right”?
