Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the official in the administration, the manager in the school, and the teacher in his classroom: are these considered among those to whom the rulers have delegated authority from the authorities in this regard?
Answer:
Yes, these are entrusted with matters from the authority that correspond to their positions. They are entrusted with certain matters: teaching is one of these matters, and the employee in his department is entrusted with resolving transactions and completing people’s affairs. This is part of the authority. So each person is entrusted with something from the authority, and he must carry it out. It is a trust on his neck, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 212

May Allah reward you with good,
