Q: I have a severe confusion prevailing over my mind whether I should do a particular thing or not, the situation is as follows:

Now my family members have suggested to borrow an illegal certificate or make a duplicate any how to get the job and support my family. My situation is confusing as I'm poor and need to support my family and on the other hand I've always praised Allah Ta'ala in five prayers a day. I'm under pressure from my family to take the wrong step but I personally don't want to take this step. Please suggest something in this regard so I can be out of this mess.
