Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a teacher, and I accepted a gift from a student I taught last year, but I am not teaching him this year. Is it permissible for me to accept the gift?
Answer:
Do not return it; rather, return a gift to him. Because you took it while you were his teacher, it was not permissible for you to take it at that time. You took it, and it was not permissible for you. Yes.
