The ruling on a teacher answering questions that are outside the scope of the lesson

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I am a teacher in a secondary school, and questions come to me from the students outside of class, concerning their lives, and I answer them. Does anything attach to me regarding that?

Answer:
Speech that guides the students and benefits them is required, because you are their educator and their guide. So speech that is beneficial and guiding for them is a good thing and is required, but with the consideration of not taking up time for speech that is outside the lesson, because the lesson is the primary matter and the time is for the lesson. However, there is no harm in such good speech and good guidance being interspersed if an opportunity arises. Yes.
