Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a teacher asking, and she says: My principal at the school will be leaving the school and departing soon, if Allah wills, and a decision has been issued to that effect. Her question is: Is it permissible for me to participate with my colleagues in buying a gift for her, given that she no longer has authority over matters such as grading and the like?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Yes, if this is in the way of rewarding her for the work she has done and she is leaving, then there is no harm in giving her a gift. Yes.
