A Quran memorization teacher accepts a gift from a student's guardian
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I work as a teacher in a Quran memorization circle. A student's guardian sent me a sum of one hundred riyals as a gift with his son and told me, “This is a gift.” I returned it. Then the guardian came to me again and said, “This is a gift, take it, and my son has memorized such and such.” He asks: Is it permissible for me to accept it?
Answer:
If you receive a salary from the association or the ministry, do not accept it. However, if you do not have a salary and you know that you are taking a fee from the guardians of the children, there is no harm in that, provided you have no salary or reward. You only take from the guardian of each student from whom you take; there is no harm in that.
