Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a teacher in a private school, and a student from the middle school stage gave me a mushaf. Is it permissible for me to accept it? And if it is not permissible, am I required to pay for it?
Answer:
Do not return it to him, and say: I am a teacher and I do not accept gifts; it is not permissible for me to do so. Return it to him, and never accept a gift from a student.
