Giving presents to teachers in schools

A: Giving a gift to a teacher in a regular school, whether it is public (Part No. 23; Page No. 583) or private, is considered bribery. It is, therefore, impermissible to give or accept these gifts.The Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade workers to take gifts. It was authentically reported on the authority of Abu Hamid Al-Sa`idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Gifts given to workers (employees) are considered ill-gotten. (Related by Ahmad and others). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
