3. • Those who are teaching in elementary school children called as the
unsung heroes in the society. They do not work for prestige or
financial rewards and Mrs Pettit one of the dedicated teachers. She
had been teaching mentally disabled students for over thirteen years.
School authority was fully satisfied with her teaching performance.
But suddenly her carrier came to end.
• Pettit and her husband used to lead liberal sexual life such as `wife
swapping`. Once they share their ideas on two local television shows
but they wore disguises. Although one of her colleagues recognized
them and he shared Mrs Pettit views to others.
After one year later, one undercover police officer discovered her on
diverse sexual parties. And he saw Mrs Pettit perform fellatio on
three different men in a one-hour period. She was arrested for oral
copulation and she found guilty under California Penal Code for that
she paid fine.

4. • Two years later, school`s disciplinary proceedings against her
although The State Education found no reason to complain
about her service as a teacher. But the board cancelled her
school life Diploma which is her licence to teach. They showed
reason that she was engaged in immoral and unprofessional
conduct at the party. Pettit fought against the decision of The
State Board of Education until the California Supreme Court.
Court found no reason to declared Pettit was unfit to teach
according to majority`s opinion. Pettit`s actions were private
and could not affected her teaching ability. The whole issues
would never have arisen unless had there not been clandestine
surveillance.

5. • Yes, we believe that The Board of Education violate her right
to privacy.
• From study we found that she was a great teacher and there
was no question about her teaching performance. What she did
in the private party, it was her personal life and there was no
connection between her personal life and professional life
activates. Even though, there is a connection between personal
and professional life what she did in her personal life it did not
affected her students in the classroom.

6. • Considering that, when an employee is not on duty, do
any immoral activates. It affect in the reputation of the
employer company. When Pettit perform fellatio with
three different men within an hour in a private party
and arrested by police. It affected in the reputation of
school and The State board of Education. So, The
State Board of Education concern with Pettit`s Life
style was legitimate and it was employment related.

7. • The concept of Maqasid Al Shariah entails understanding the Islamic
principal of preventing harm, which state that a person cannot harm or cause
grief to others while engaging its personal activates.
• Protection of owner is one of the Maqasid Al Shariyah. Privacy in Islam is
included with this. So, when police saw her, he should not express that to
anybody. There is Privacy in the Quran and Sunnah,
• Sir ( س رّ ) mentioned 32 times in the Quran including its roots and derivatives.
• Commands
• Protection of Amanah/trust: 58. Allah doth command you to render back your
Trusts to those to whom they are due; (al-Nisa:58)
• Fulfillment of promise: and fulfil [every] engagement, for [every] engagement
will be enquired into [on the Day of Reckoning]. (al-Isra:34)
لا إيمان لمن لا أمانة له، ولا دين لمن لا عهد وعن أّنس •ّ « : قال: ما خّطبنا رّسول اّلله إّلا قّال

• Anas R narrated that whenever Prophet pbuh addressed us he says:
there is no imam for the person who does not keep the amana and
there is no religion for the person who does not fullfill the promise.
