A teacher accepting a gift from a student
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a teacher. Is it permissible for me to accept a gift if one of my students gives it to me and offers it as a gift, knowing that he wants nothing in return and insists that I take it?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to do that, because this becomes a bribe. Since you are responsible for their grades, their success, and their educational affairs, it is not permissible for you to take a bribe from them.
