Ruling on a student giving a gift to her teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a sister asking: What is the ruling on giving gifts to teachers, O Shaykh, at the end of the school year?
Answer:
It is better to leave it. No, do not give. Do not give gifts. Do not have the student give a gift; because a gift to the teacher may lead to favoritism and injustice. And it is not befitting for the teacher to accept gifts from the students; because this may lead to accusations against her or her being unjust. And because she is in the position of a worker, and gifts to workers are embezzlement. It is befitting for the ruler and the teacher not to accept gifts from those under their authority, so that this does not lead them to injustice and oppression. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
