Question:
The questioner asks: Is it considered accepting a gift for a teacher to accept a tape from his student for charitable distribution?
Answer:
Yes, a teacher does not accept anything from his student, not a pen, not a tape, and not anything else, because this is considered a bribe, even if it is small, because the teacher is responsible for the student and judges him and corrects his papers. So if the student gives him a gift, he may be biased toward him, and he becomes a subject of suspicion. If he wants a tape, he buys it from the shops. And what does he want as a gift from the student? And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
