A Teacher Searching Students' Pockets and Spying
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Sometimes the teacher searches the students' pockets to check for any violations. Does this action fall under the spying that is prohibited?
Answer:
If this is required by the regulations, it does not fall under it, because the intention is to discipline the students and control violations. If this is required of the teacher or the principal, he performs it and carries it out, because the intention is the predominant benefit and the discipline of the students. However, if it is not required by the regulations, he does not perform this action; it is not obligatory for him to perform this action.
