Business and Dealings
Speaking lies to get a job
Q: I have two questions and it is about Haraam or Gunaah and they are as follows:
1. I took admission in degree course with the help of some source though I did not clear the entrance exam and also based on that qualification I got job. Please tell me is it Haraam or Gunaah?
2. Also I worked in 7 companies. I lied in 5 interviews about my experience. Please tell me whether it is Haraam or Gunaah and if it is Haraam then does that mean everything I have earned and spent after that is Haraam? If it is Gunaah then one solution which came into my mind is that start learning or doing something from my parents money and try to earn a living from that. Is it possible that Allah will consider it as repentance.
