The mu'adhdhin's condition of payment when there is no sufficiency

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the mu'adhdhin is not given from the public treasury what is sufficient for him, and he does not find anyone among the benefactors to give to him, is it permissible for him in this situation to make a condition?

Answer:
No, he does not call to prayer. He should seek his provision from Allah and let someone else do it. The Muslims are many, praise be to Allah, and one will not fail to find someone who is eager to call to prayer. This is not lacking.
