If I get certificate dishonestly will I have haram earnings?
The thing is I havent done internship. I need Internship certificate to appear for an exam.
In my region a lot of students dont do internship but get the certificate either through bribes or pulling a few strings.
If I get the certificate by pulling a few strings and then use it on my CV or to give future exams, will that make my future earnings haraam?
I repaet I'll get it through pulling strings and not through bribes. please reply soon.

Salaams,
I would never recommend someone to dishonestly obtain certifications or degrees. The main reason this is not adviseable is because you will eventually found to be a fraud when your employer discovers you really don't know what you claim, and usually this is obvious for them when they see your lack of skill. As a result, you will find yourself out a job, and you won't even be able to use them for a reference because they will certainly tell your next employer what you really are.
In the long run it's better for your integrity, and your career, if you find a place where you can complete a true internship. That way, you can confidently tell prospective employers that you DO know what you're doing in that field and won't have to worry about having committed a sin to achieve that accomplishment. Trust me, you may eventually decide to leave the local corrupt area where you now are, and you will need something more viable than a purchased certificate to earnestly compete with others in a global business marketplace.
