Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on taking a fee for reciting the Qur'an at a funeral gathering?
Answer:
At a funeral gathering. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is not permissible to use the Qur'an for funeral gatherings, or to make funeral gatherings occasions where people gather. All of this is a bid'ah. When you meet someone who has suffered a loss, say: "May Allah improve your consolation, may Allah console you for your loss, and may Allah forgive your deceased." This is the supplication that has been transmitted. Yes.
