Earning with a fake degree
Question
If anyone knows that he is doing a job with fake degrees (he is capable of doing this job but he is not qualified with a degree) is his income halaal?
Answer
If he is capable and completing the work that he is employed for, then his income is halaal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
