Fake papers for visa.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Assalamu aleykum. I have a difficulty to go to my husband because of the visa refusal. I live in one country and he lives in another. To be together i need to get the shengen visa. Please, tell me, is it allowed in islam to make a fake paper from work, if I don’t work, but for getting visa it is essential.? Otherwise i gonna stay here, and my husband there.And i will have to wait at least one year to be with him. Jazakumullahu khairan.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Truthfulness and honesty are some of the cardinal principles of Islam. A Muslim should also live by those principles.  

Consider the following hadith,

مَنْ غَشَّنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا 

“Whoever deceives us, he is not from amongst us. (Muslim) 1

It is prohibited to make a fake employment letter as that constitutes lies and deception. You may consider being employed and request your employer to issue you a letter confirming your employment. The flexible terms and conditions of employment between you and the employer is an internal issue.

We make dua Allah Ta’āla unite you with your husband as soon as possible. Ameen

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

صحيح مسلم-دار إحياء التراث العربي (1/ 99)1

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيُّ ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْنَا السِّلَاحَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا، وَمَنْ غَشَّنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»
