What is the ruling on a female student giving a simple handmade gift to her male teacher as a form of encouragement and support?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The basic principle is that giving gifts is permissible. However, a gift from a female student to her teacher could be a bribe if its purpose is to gain preferential treatment for the student, or it could be an opening for Satan to enter and establish an unlawful relationship. If the gift is free from these two dangers and there is no fear of falling into them, then it is permissible.
