Teachers eating from the students' food on Open Day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh (may Allah grant you success) said: This questioner says: I am a teacher, and the school is holding an open day these days. He says: I am a teacher, and the school is holding an open day these days where the students bring food for iftar from their homes, so we teachers break our fast with them, with the administration's knowledge, and the students are happy to share with us. Is it permissible for us to eat this food with the students?
Answer:
By Allah, I do not know; this is according to the regulations. According to the regulations, the education regulations from the Ministry, not the school's regulations, meaning the Ministry's regulations. So if the Ministry approves of this, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
