Tea and the like during madrasa hours

Question

Is it permissible during madrasa hours to make tea and the like and to have a snack and a drink or not?

Answer

If, after teaching the lesson and fully discharging the students’ right, there is time left, there is latitude to make tea or have a snack occasionally, once in a while. But saving time by not teaching the students their lesson and not fully discharging their right, and doing one’s own business in that time (tea, a snack and the like)
