The Ruling on Taking a Wage for Teaching the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: As for a Qur'an teacher, what is the stronger position regarding taking a wage for teaching the Qur'an? And is it required

Answer:
There are two opinions, my brother, so that it can be called the stronger position. There is no harm in taking a wage for teaching the Qur'an, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5737
So a wage is taken for the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an, and a wage is taken for teaching the Qur'an; there is no harm in that. Yes.
