2802 The Ruling on a Teacher Giving Grades to Those Who Do Not Deserve Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a teacher of the Noble Qur'an at a private school, and the school principal demands that I give students grades of no less than forty-eight out of fifty for memorization, even for those who have not memorized. Please note that some of the students have not memorized even a single section of the curriculum. If I refuse, Honorable Shaykh, I will face harm, and I may be dismissed and sent back to my country. What is the Islamic ruling on this?
Answer:
The ruling is that you do not bear false witness for anyone; you do not give someone what he does not deserve. If he is forcing you, may Allah expand your options; go to another memorization center or make a contract with other people. Yes.
