I wanted to ask a question for university admission.Basically i am an overseas student in UK.I finished my degree here as an overseas student and i have got admission in another course.My problem is that I applied to this new course as a home student for which I have to pay ??3000 a year.If i had applied as an overseas student,i had to pay ??20,000 a year which i cannot afford.Iam in a dilemma because i am lying and deceiving the university because according to the UK law,Iam still an overseas student.But i also want to study this 4 year course and i can never pay (??80,000) for the entire course.Please tell me what to de because i dont want to displease ALLAH (SWT) and also if I do this course,would my earnings be considered as haram?
Answer
(Fatwa: 787/744=B)
After completing the course, whatever job you will do, the earning will be halal for you. As far as the matter of showing yourself as home student is concerned this will be a lie and you will be sinful for the same. Therefore, you must repent to Allah and ask for forgiveness.
