Is it permissible for a student to give a gift to her teacher?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a student in the fourth grade. Is it permissible for me to give my teachers miswak, tapes, and beneficial religious books as a means of calling to Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a student to give a gift to her teacher because this falls under bribery, as the teacher will lean toward her and take her side. So do not give her anything until after graduation. Yes, or give to other teachers who do not teach you. Give to teachers who are not the ones who speak about you. As for the teacher while you are a student, you do not give them anything, because this falls under bribery. Yes. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. A teacher, and you are a student. The teacher is supposed to do the opposite; she is the one who should call the students and please the students. That is what is supposed to happen. If the teacher is not like that, then it is not permissible for her to be a teacher. Yes.
