Will salary be haram, if one cheated during study?
Assalamu’alaikum. I am a student sponsored by government. I got sponsored by one of the instit utions because I received good grades in examinations. The problem is I cheated a little bit on the exams because I can’t remember some facts which were questioned in the exams, but my friends cheated a lot more. This happened before I got sponsored and after I was sponsored. Is my future career will be regarded as invalid? And the salaries I receive will be haraam? Everyone cheats here, and I know that’s not the best reason for me to cheat. But if I receive poor grades I’ll have troubles in answering my sponsor, in continuing my education in my favorite field, and as well as a lot of waste on money and time. Can you please advise me on this? Thank you.
