The ruling on accepting a gift from a student to a teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Shaykh: Is it permissible for a student to give a gift to his teacher who supervised his studies with diligence and sincerity?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a student to give a gift to a teacher; this is a bribe. Because he will be biased toward the student because of the gift, and he may perhaps give him a grade he does not deserve. The teacher is a judge; it is not permissible. He is a judge over the students; it is not permissible for him to accept gifts from some of them. Yes.
