Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is observed that some marriage officiants take money when they perform the taslim (closing of the prayer/contract). What is the ruling on taking this money when he participates in the most cautious approach? Even though some spouses believe that if the officiant does not take money, he will not be successful in his response.
Answer:
There is no objection to him taking it, there is no objection because he devotes himself to this matter and sits for this matter and processes their affairs, there is no objection to him taking it, but it should not be with greed and he should not take a large amount, rather it should be according to the custom, lightening the burden on people with something that benefits him and does not harm them, otherwise, there is no objection to him taking it if it is within a reasonable limit.
