Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the imam or the mu’adhdhin is in a non-Islamic state, where does he take his sustenance from, and is it collected for him?
Answer:
It is fine, there is no harm in it. He is provided for, but his intention must not be the money. His original state is to devote himself to this work and take what is given to him without stipulating a condition. Yes.
