The ruling on students giving food to a teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: We are a group of students who prepared food and gave it to one of our teachers because he is away from his home and lives alone. Is there anything wrong with that?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible. An employee who receives a reward or a salary should not be given anything by the students, because this is considered a bribe, as it gives him an advantage over those who do not give him gifts. So avoid such matters. However, if the teacher is doing it for the sake of Allah and is in need, then help him. May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
