The Mu'adhdhin's Salary and Its Effect on the Reward for the Adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person gives the adhan for a salary, or takes a salary, does the reward for the adhan cease to be his, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is no harm if the need arises for this. If he is given what helps him, it does not deprive him of the virtue of the adhan, if Allah wills. He is given from the public treasury, or from endowments, or from the generous, what helps him to persist and maintain the performance of this prescribed act. Yes.
