Is the fee given to the teacher in exchange for bringing students to the school considered a bribe?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The school administrator's announcement that the teacher will be given a wage if he brings some students is a permissible ju'ala (commission/reward), not a bribe; because bringing students is not an obligation upon the teacher. For it to be permissible, it is stipulated that the wage must be known and specified; otherwise, the contract is invalid.
