Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a student gives a gift to his teacher, and the teacher accepts it to please the student, while he intends in his heart to give him a better gift in return, is this permissible?
Answer:
It is not permissible to open this door, and it is not permissible for the teacher to accept gifts; rather, he should return them. He should not seek to please the student in this way, because this is not permissible. He should not seek to please him with anything, because this is a bribe. Gifts to workers are a form of embezzlement. Gifts to teachers and employees are a bribe and are not permissible. Yes.
