May Allah reward you
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: In one of the markets, I was asked to enjoin good and forbid evil in exchange for money. The question is: What is the ruling on this money that I will take in exchange for this accounting?
The Shaykh:
This is your wage. If you took anything other than this, it is your wage. However, if this money is from the public treasury, which is for general public interests, then there is no harm. But if it is from a merchant who does not want to pay you this wage except for this fee, yes.
