Ruling on Accepting Gifts from Students
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner for the program says: What is the ruling on accepting gifts from female students? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The most likely view—and Allah knows best—is that it is not permissible to accept them; because they may be a bribe. So what should be done is to leave accepting them, and to teach them not to give gifts; because a gift, if it comes to the female teacher or the male teacher, may lead him to cheating and favoritism toward the one who gave the gift. So the safest course, and what should be done, is to leave that.
