The ruling on calling the adhan with the intention of obtaining a house in the mosque

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah the Exalted grant you success, he is also looking for a furnished house in order to call the adhan in this mosque. And who knows the correct ruling from this ailment?

The Shaykh:
If his intention in calling the adhan is to obtain the house, that is not permissible. However, if his intention is to call the adhan, and he intends the house to help him with the adhan and to allow him to devote himself to it, then the criterion is the intentions. If his intention is the reward and the recompense, and he wants the house to assist him in calling the adhan so that he can do so if he lives near the mosque, then this is assistance in good and there is nothing wrong with it. But if he did not intend the adhan, and rather made the adhan a means to obtain the house, then this is not permissible.

The questioner:
In the house.

The Shaykh:
Note: If he intends the house for the sake of the adhan, there is no objection. If he intends the adhan for the sake of the house, then this is not permissible. This is like their saying in Hajj: "Whoever performs Hajj to take [the reward] does not perform Hajj; whoever performs Hajj to take [the reward] does not perform Hajj. But whoever takes [the reward] to perform Hajj, let him perform Hajj; whoever takes [the reward] to perform Hajj, let him perform Hajj." Because the intention is Hajj, and taking [the reward] is merely a means to it, so there is no objection to that. The criterion is the intentions. And if he intends to chaste himself, does he make the adhan a means to the house for the sake of marriage? From the matters of this world.
