The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Regarding the current state of schools and the behavioral errors that occur among some students, does the teacher or the school administration in general have the right to sit with students who have not shown any signs of error or disobedience, and to inquire of them about things they have not done, meaning in the context of searching for corrupting elements among the students?
The Shaykh : There must be strong evidence that necessitates the accusation. In that case, there is no harm in investigating, but this should not be done among the students, because if it is done among the students, there is a fear that this person is innocent and people will accuse him. However, if it is nothing but the words of the students about one another, that is not accepted.
The questioner : Meaning, if there is not...
The Shaykh : And you know that the words of students about one another are problematic. They are peers, and some envy others and speak about them while not being truthful.

The Shaykh : If there is no evidence, he is not summoned.
The questioner : Is this not permissible, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
