Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is the ruling on hiring, reward, and salary for teaching the Qur'an, Hajj, leading the prayer, and the call to prayer?

Answer:
Whoever intends money, it is not permissible for him to enter into worship for the sake of money.
(15) Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments - We fully repay them for their deeds therein, and they therein will not be deprived. (16) Those are the ones for whom there is not in the Hereafter but the Fireمَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يُبْخَسُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا النَّارُ
[Hud 11:15-16]
. But if he intends worship and drawing near to Allah, and takes money to help him with the worship, that is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with it. The criterion is the intention and purpose, and only Allah the Exalted knows intentions and purposes. But everyone should look at his own intention and purpose. Yes.
