Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking. She says: I had a teacher in school, but she changed and is no longer my teacher, though she is still teaching. She asks: Is it permissible to give her a gift? She says, may Allah preserve you, I had a teacher in school, but she changed and is no longer my teacher. She is still in the school teaching. He asks: Is it permissible to give her a gift?
Answer:
As long as she is no longer your teacher, how can you give her a gift when she is not your teacher? Also, a teacher is not to be given a gift by a male or female student. Consider this to be a bribe, because if a teacher is given a gift, he will lean toward you and perhaps help you in correcting the answer and give you grades you do not deserve. So a teacher is not to be given a gift, and it is not permissible for him to accept a gift from students. Yes.
