Subject : Ruling of Islamic Law on Teacher Having School Meal Originally Allocated to Students
Fatwa Number : 1593
Classified : Miscellaneous Fatwas
Fatwa Type : Summarized Fatawaa

Question :

Is it permissible for a teacher to have one of the school meals originally allocated to students considering that there is plenty of them and they may spoil?



The Answer :

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

The Ministry of Education has the final say in this regard because it isn`t allowed to take from public funds save with the permission of the body in charge of spending from it. In fact, we have sent a letter to the Ministry concerning this issue and we are waiting for an answer. However, to prevent spoilage of the meals, they can be sold and the price kept in favor of the students or distributed amongst the students themselves. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
