Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: We are in a school, and sometimes we catch students smoking during the break. Is it permissible for us to discipline them with ten lashes, or is this the exclusive responsibility of the one in authority?
Answer:
This is the exclusive responsibility of the school principal, because the one responsible for the school is its principal, so he is the one who disciplines the students for violations.
