The Ruling on Taking a Salary for Continuous Recitation in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, in one of the mosques, there are reciters who recite the Qur'an for twenty-four hours continuously. Are they permitted to receive a salary for this work? Given that the mosque is visited by Muslims and disbelievers who listen to the recitation, is this work permissible?
Answer:
This work is not permissible because there is no evidence for it. Reciting the Qur'an in the mosque for twenty-four hours has no evidence for it.
