A teacher working in one of the private schools, whose contract with the school stipulates that he shall not give private lessons

The questioner : A teacher works in one of the private schools, and his contract with the school stipulates that he shall not give private lessons. When the owner of the school asks him, "Do you give private lessons?" he swears that he does not give any lessons. The question is: Is this teacher permitted to give lessons? And is this a violation of the contract, even though it does not affect his work at the school?

The Shaykh : It is not permissible for him to give private lessons, as he is prohibited by the system, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: This teacher entered the position on the condition that he would be committed to all the conditions required by the job, including that he not teach private lessons.
Accordingly, we say that he must seek permission from the one who has the right to allow him to give private lessons. If he grants him permission, that is fine; but if he does not grant him permission, it is not permissible for him to give these private lessons.
