The ruling on taking a fee for reciting the Qur'an at wedding feasts

Question:
The Shaykh asks, in the last of this questioner's questions, about the ruling on taking a fee for reading the Qur'an. For example, people gather at one of the feasts, and this person, carrying the Qur'an, reads some of the Noble Qur'an for them. They give him something, and the host of the feast also gives him a certain amount of money. Is this permissible or forbidden?

Answer:
Taking a fee for teaching the Qur'an is permissible, or for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So the teacher of the Qur'an may take a fee, there is no harm in it, or the one who performs ruqyah on a patient may take a fee, there is no harm in it. As for taking a fee for reciting the Qur'an in gatherings or at funerals, this is not permissible. Because reciting the Qur'an in this manner is an act of worship, and it is not permissible to take money for acts of worship, nor is a fee taken for acts of worship. Therefore, as mentioned in the question before this, it is not permissible to make acts of worship a means to acquire money. Reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship, so it is not to be made a means to acquire money. Also, because reciting the Qur'an in these parties or these funerals is a bid'ah (religious innovation), it is forbidden. Reciting it on this occasion is a bid'ah, because Allah has not sent down any authority that the Qur'an is to be recited in these parties. Yes.
