Taking a females exam from behind a veil

Q: Can you please advise if a female is allowed to give quraan imtihaan to a Moulana from behind a veil. Generally we have Moulana's taking imtihaan in our maktab madrasahs and to accommodate the girl students who have reached the age of puberty we provide a place where they can sit and be tested on their Quraan from behind a curtain. However the Moulana's cannot see the girls at all but only listen to them reading the Quraan. Is this permissible?

Tabarruk

Q: Is it permissible to drink from a glass which has been used by ones teacher with the intention of tabarruk? How do we determine which things are permissible to use for tabarruk?
