Ruling on deducting a teacher’s bonus for students smoking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a teacher in one of the educational institutions, and we monitor the students. If we find one smoking, we deduct from his bonus. Smoking has become widespread, so is there anything wrong with this action? This is good, meaning checking on the students and preventing them from smoking.
Answer:
This is a good action. The deduction falls under the issue of financial punishment: is it permissible or not? It is permissible if it deters the violator. If it deters the violator, financial punishment is permissible. Yes.
