Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, in her final question, says: Your Eminence, may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for all Muslims. Is the gift considered a bribe in this case, where she performed a good deed, which was teaching the neighbor's daughter, and she said: "If she succeeds, you will have a gift," and I told her: "I do not want a gift; because I am doing this for the sake of Allah," but she insisted on it. What is the ruling on taking this gift, Your Eminence?
Answer:
As long as you intended the face of Allah in not taking the gift, the safest course for you is not to take anything, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
