The Ruling on Competitions in Matters of Knowledge

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A competition in matters of knowledge.

Answer:
If it is for money, no. But if it is merely a reward, such as giving a certain amount to whoever memorizes a specific portion, or giving a certain amount to whoever memorizes a hundred hadiths, this is assistance in spreading [the knowledge], this is a competition.
