Is it permissible to use cheating methods to pass an exam and then use that degree for gainful employment?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
If a person passes an examination by cheating (e.g. copying or any other improper means) and gets a degree and with that degree he gets a job and earns his living. Whether in this condition his earnings from that source is halal or haram?

Answer

(Fatwa: 802/668/B=1433)

Yes, his income is halal provided he does his assigned job well and fulfils his duty. He gets the salary of his work; hence that salary is lawful and halal without any doubt.
