The answer

It is permissible to combine the salaries of some student-employees in the school under three conditions:

1. Approval from the competent authorities and accurate accounting of the funds. 2. The student must be an adult of sound mind. If not, then with the guardian's permission and in a way that benefits the student, unless the money is a donation. 3. The wage must be for teaching subjects that are permissible in Islamic law.

This permissibility is based on the jurists' view that it is permissible to take a wage for teaching the Quran and knowledge. This is also indicated by the Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari from Ibn Abbas regarding taking a wage for ruqyah (exorcism) with the Quran, for the generality of the wording is what matters, not the specificity of the cause.
