Is it permissible for male and female teachers to trade with students in schools?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, in some schools, some male or female teachers bring goods for themselves and sell them inside the school to the male or female students. I do not know what the ruling is on the money they obtain from this?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it appears to me that this is prohibited.
The questioner : It is prohibited.
The Shaykh : If it is prohibited, it is not lawful for them to do this. It is not permissible for them to bring items that the school or the government has prohibited. If the introduction of something is forbidden, one must refrain from it. Then, is the one who is selling going to sell at a discount?
The questioner : No, at a high price.
The Shaykh : Well, he is not selling at the market price, nor at a discount, and he did not seek permission. There is no doubt that it is forbidden for him. He must repent to Allah and not return to it. What he earned before he knew of the prohibition is forgiven. Yes, peace be upon you. Yes, and upon you be peace. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah forgive you.
The Shaykh : No, may Allah reward you for asking, my brother. It was presented to you and you said you had no question. If they finish, if Allah wills, you will be first. Yes.
