The teacher accepting a gift from the student

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a teacher to accept a gift from a student in his class?

Answer:
No, a teacher does not accept [gifts] if he has a salary for teaching; then he must not take anything from the students, neither a gift nor anything else, because this is a bribe. But if he is teaching for a fee, teaching the students for a fee, then there is no harm in his taking from them in exchange for his work.
