Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: We came to this blessed land to work in teaching the Noble Qur'an. His question is: Does this work fall under seeking worldly gain, since we receive a monthly salary for it?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, and it is a good thing. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5737 So there is nothing wrong with that. This is assistance in obedience.
