Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some parents bring gifts, such as advertisements because he works for a company, and pens. Is it permissible for the principal or the teacher to accept these gifts, may Allah forgive you? Even though...
Answer:
I mean, who is giving the gift? Is it for the student, for the teacher, or for the school administration? And what is the gift for, and what is its purpose? There is a means of advertisements, and they give them to the administration. If it is for the benefit of the school, there is no harm. If it is for the sake of his son, so that they are lenient with him and do not burden him in the exam, or anything similar, if it is for the benefit of all the students, the benefit of the school, giving them Qur'ans, giving them books, the benefit of everyone, it is not a doubtful matter. And as for you, Shaykh. So whoever does it for the sake of his son, saying, "Be lenient with him, do not be strict with him in the exam, and I will give you this," he does not know what he is doing. In... actions are by intentions. Yes.
