Forging certificates in order to gain employment
Question

                A man wants to do a certain job which he is able to do and can win the competition (for jobs), but he does not have the certificate which will entitle him to enter the competition. Is it permissible for him to forge the certificate to enter the competition, and if he succeeds, will his wages be permissible for him or not?
Praise be to Allah.It 
          seems to me, from the pure sharee’ah and its sublime goals, that such 
          actions are not permissible, because this is gaining employment by means 
          of lying and deceiving. These are forbidden, and are things that open 
          the door to evil and pave the way for deceit. Undoubtedly those who 
          are entrusted with the task of hiring employees must seek qualified 
          and trustworthy people as much as possible.
