The Ruling on Students Giving Gifts to Teachers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks about the ruling on students giving gifts to teachers without the teachers asking for them, whether the teacher receives a salary or not?
Answer:
It is not permissible for students to give gifts to teachers, and it is not permissible for teachers to accept gifts from students; because this is considered a bribe. If the teachers are employees of the state and receive salaries, it is not permissible for students to give them anything; because this is considered a bribe. The teacher is a judge over the student in correcting his answers, giving him grades, and other matters where he rules in his favor or against him. Therefore, it is not permissible for the student to give him anything; because this is considered a bribe, so that the teacher might be lenient with him and lean in his favor.
