Should a teacher accept gifts from students?

Question: 9633

If a person gives a gift to his teacher (of Qur’aan) or to a person from whom he is learning, and if it were not for the fact that he is learning from him he would not have given him a gift, is it permissible for the teacher to accept that gift?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

That is not haraam, but it is better not to take it. And Allaah knows best.
