Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Is it my right, as a teacher, to accept from my students in the school a certificate of appreciation and commendation that is not accompanied by a gift? And is it permissible for me, as a teacher, to give the school principal such a certificate?
Answer:
Yes, if it is not money, but merely an acknowledgment of the teacher's merit and his performance of his duty, and likewise if the teacher acknowledges the merit of his principal and his performance of his duty, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
