False certificates lies.
Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
(May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
As
Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Person
who is married and staying alone abroad, his company doesn’t provide family
status because of his low job profile and he know that staying away with wife
for more than 4 month is not allowed in Islam, what should he do? He have good long experience in work and able
to manage higher responsibility but he don’t have higher qualification
certificate to get family status, Can
he add any false qualification certificate and false previous experience
for getting high salary and family status from company or for getting family
visa from local Govt. please note: he don’t want to continue study.
Some
of them bring their wife in visiting visa / umrah visa and continue to keep
them till Govt. implement some strict rules, then they send them by some false
way,
This
question arises because today most of them are producing duplicate certificate
or duplicate necessary documents only for getting higher salary or for family
status, how can we make them understand
that what they are doing is not right. Also in some case the person tells that he explained his
problem with his manager then his manager himself told to do the procedure by
other way.

errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from

Answer:
False certificates
lies
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Question: ….Person who is married and staying alone abroad, his company doesn’t
provide family status because of his low job profile and he know that staying
away with wife for more than 4 month is not allowed in Islam, what should he do?
There is absolutely no harm and there is nothing in
Shariah Law which prohibits or disallows a husband and a wife to stay away from
each other provided there is a genuine reason to do so….regardless of whether
the time is four months or four years.
If for any reason the husband who works abroad is unable
to call his wife to stay with him, he has the option of staying alone to earn
his livelihood; or leave the job abroad and seek to earn his livelihood in a
place where he can stay with his wife.
Your Question: Can he add any false qualification certificate and false previous
experience for getting high salary and family status from company or for
getting family visa from local Govt. please note: he don’t want to continue
study.
Beloved Brother, it would not
behove the character of a true believer in Allah and the Last Day to lie or
give false witness. Allah Subhanah
commands the believers to always speak the Truth and give witnesses on the side
of the Truth, even if it be against one’s own self.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran in Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 135:
O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts) lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice), or decline to do justice; verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 33 Surah
Ahzab verse 70:
70 O ye who believe! Fear Allah and (always)
say a word directed to the Right.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 8.7 Narrated by Abu Bakra
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the Biggest of the Great
Sins?" We said, "Yes, O
Allah's Messenger (saws)" He (saws)
said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one's
parents." The Prophet sat up after he (saws) had been reclining and added,
"And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness!; I
warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness!" The Prophet (saws) kept on saying that
warning till we thought that he (saws) would not stop!’
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.116 Narrated by Abdullah
The Prophet (saws) said, "Truthfulness
leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to
In light of the above commands
of Allah and His Messenger (saws) it would indeed be a grave sin and not befit
the character of a true believer to lie in order to gain a paltry advantage for
himself in this world!
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands
of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one
can be assured of never ever being misled;
but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than
that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led
astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
