Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking a fee for teaching the Qur'an in the neighborhood mosque?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; it is permissible to take a fee for teaching the Qur'an. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب الله
