Taking a fee for teaching the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on taking a fee for teaching the Noble Qur'an, and if a person does it for the sake of Allah, does he receive a reward for it?

Answer:
Yes, teaching the Qur'an for the sake of reward is good, and there is great reward in it, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The best among you is he who learns and teaches the Qur'an.خيركم من تعلم القرآن وعلمه
Sunan Abi Dawud 1452Sahih (Al-Albani)
And if one takes a wage for teaching the Qur'an, there is nothing wrong with that. He (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
Sahih al-Bukhari 5737
There is no objection to that. Yes.
