Without a doubt, there are some individuals in most of our higher institution who assist students write assignments, essays and even dissertations. Some of these services are being paid for. What does Islam says about this?

Praise be to Allah.

If the student will get a certificate or increase his grades or pass an exam by means of that, then this action is haraam, and it is cheating and deceiving, whether this research is taken from the internet or elsewhere, because the purpose of research is to train the student and test his abilities and so on. So what he must do is do it himself. If he takes the efforts of someone else and presents it under his name, he is cheating and lying.

These people who write reports for others are sinning and doing wrong, whether they do that in return for payment or not, because they are helping in cheating and lying, and because they play a role in the giving of certificates and grades to those who do not deserve them. This causes great damage to society and it is deceiving the ummah, because it results in promotion of those who do not deserve promotion and appointment of those who do not deserve to be appointed.

The money that is taken for selling these reports is haraam wealth, and it is not permissible to make use of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every body that is nourished on haraam things, the Fire is more fitting for it.” Narrated by al-Tabaraani and Abu Na’eem; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, no. 4519.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: What do you say about what some people do, hiring someone to write reports for them or prepare essays for them, or write reports on some books so that they can get academic certificates?

He replied: It is most unfortunate, as the questioner says, that there are some students who hire people to write reports and essays for them by means of which they obtain academic certificates, or who write reports on books, so they say to them: Prepare biographies of these figures for me and refer to specific research for me, then they submit the essay and get a degree by means of which they are entitled to become teachers and the like. In fact this goes against the aim of the university and against reality, and I think it is a kind of betrayal, because the aim of that is only to get the certificate, and if he were to be asked a few days later about the subject in which he got the certificate, he would not be able to answer.

Hence I warn my brothers who write book reports and who prepare essays in this manner of the severe consequences. I do not say that there is anything wrong with seeking help from another person, but not in such a way that the entire essay is the work of someone else. May Allaah help us all to acquire beneficial knowledge and do righteous deeds, for He is All-Hearing, Ever-Responsive.

what if the lecturer says that we should pay money for tutorial?

May Allah forgive us and increase us in guidance. Some Institutions can not do without bribing lecturers for grades, seminars, projects, etc.

You pay either in cash or kind.

But i know those who didn't pay and had the best of results.

May Allah put barakah in their results and endeavors.

loool. You're a funny person.

What I'll tell you is this: Nigeria is not a stable country. Islam does not support terrorism. You know nothing about Islam. It is forbidden in Islam to deprive anyone of his rights. Or to even be a nuisance to your neighbours. Islam promotes peace and denounces violence.

Ofcourse,when we told u islam is a culture,what did u think we meant.for everything u do,derz a way to do it.i might not know,but derz a way to even pee and poo.

Hahahahaha okay please I’m not an almajiri you can lie to . Of course why be a nuisance to your neighbours when you can just kill them . The Boko Haram Sect are they Muslims or not? Is Buhari Muslim or not ? Is pantami Muslim or not ? The majority of the north are Muslim which means they practice Islam but ironically the north is where no Nigerian finds peace of mind , it’s either you are called an infidel or forced to live to the way of life y’all prescribe. My guy don’t fool yourself Islam doesn’t encourage peace and love it encourages discrimination, that’s why your elites encourage poverty in the north so that there will be clear separation of classes, you guys are cunning with your hypocrisy and tactics. I’m sure you even have a few terrorists groups you are sponsoring on the low. No Muslim can convince me he means good when all your brothers are perpetuating and perpetrating evil . Even in Camp you guys segregate yourselves is that a test of peaceful coexistence? Better go and spill your nonsense to an uneducated inexperienced almajiri. I know you Muslims front and back you people are evil hypocrites

How many research did Muhammed do?
