Writing full grades for students in the literacy program
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A teacher asks, saying: I am a teacher in the literacy program, and I have some female students who are advanced in age. Some of them want me to write their grades as full marks without any effort on their part. If I do not write them full marks, it causes them anger and annoyance. Is it permissible for me to write them full marks?
Answer:
Beware of the anger of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the anger of the created, it does not concern you. Allah has made justice obligatory; He has made justice obligatory and threatened regarding oppression. So, writing a grade for a student who did not achieve it in the exam is oppression, and oppression is not permissible. Even if they become angry, Allah becomes angry with the oppressor. Yes.
