Holding the whole class liable due to one student breaking something

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I broke a glass rod in our school lab and didn’t report it. The school put a common fine on my class. Is this right?

Bismillaah

A: The class is not responsible. The one who is responsible for the damage will be responsible to pay.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
