Dedication to Teachers on World Teachers' Day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. You know, may Allah preserve you, that this day is World Teachers' Day. It is known that it involves imitating and following the disbelievers, and some schools ask students to give gifts to teachers on this day. What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
The ruling on this is that it is not permissible, and it is not permissible for students to do this. There is no obedience to a creation in disobedience to the Creator. They must not do this and must refrain from it. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
If they are forced to do it and compelled, then the sin is on the one who compelled and forced them. But if they have a choice, and they can do it if they wish or leave it if they wish, then it is not permissible for them to do it. Yes. It is obligatory for him. Yes.
