Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a group of students to honor one of the teachers, knowing that the teacher does not know about them, as the prize or gift is presented to him with the students' names, and he does not know about the individuals?
Answer:
No, he must know. If he is given something, he asks where it is from? It is not coming from the sky; he knows it is not descending upon him from the sky, and there is no one here except the students around him, so this is not permissible.
