The ruling on a teacher accepting gifts from his students
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Some teachers in schools receive gifts from their students. What is the ruling on accepting them?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a teacher to accept gifts from students, because this is a bribe, and because it affects him in that he will be unjust; he will be unjust toward the one who gave him a gift, and it opens the door for him to swallow [what is not his]. So the teacher does not accept a gift from a student, nor does any official—any official, manager, or employee—accept gifts from people, because this is a bribe. Yes.
