Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said
and appoint a mu'adhdhin who does not charge for the calling of adhan.واتخذ مؤذنا لا يأخذ على أذانه أجرا
Sunan Abi Dawud 531
. And it was reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him)
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5737
(Mighty and Majestic).

Answer:
This is for teaching; this is in teaching, teaching others, teaching for which he takes a fee. Likewise, for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), he takes a fee for it. The hadith is reported regarding ruqyah and teaching, and there is no harm in it. Yes.
