The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is taking a wage for the adhan a permissible job?
The Shaykh:
You may take a wage from an individual; that is permissible. But if you take it from the public treasury, which is for the interests of the Muslims, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
I said, "I am not a mu'adhdhin," and I said to the merchant or the one who manages the mosque, "I am not a mu'adhdhin except for so much and so much." This is not permissible. One does not make conditions for acts of worship. Yes.
