Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A group of school students had one of them give a gift to their teacher and handed it to the teacher in charge of this group of students, but he did not tell him the name of the student who gave it. Does this fall under bad intention or bribery?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a teacher to accept a gift from students if he has a salary. If he has a salary paid to him by the government or the association, he should be content with his salary and not take anything from the students, because in that case it would be a matter of bribery, because the teacher is a judge over the students. In their answers, in their exams, and in their passing or failing, he should not accept a gift. Also, he would be suspected of favoritism, so he should ward off the suspicion from himself and stay away from these matters and be content with what is given to him as a salary. Yes.
