Setting an amount for the imam and mu'adhdhin of the village
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We are in a village, and it happens repeatedly that the adhan is not called in the mosque in our village. This is due to the negligence of the villagers, as there is no permanent imam or mu'adhdhin for this mosque unless one of them volunteers. He asks: Is it obligatory for us, the villagers, to set an amount to give to the imam and the mu'adhdhin?
Answer:
It is not obligatory, but if you do so as an act of devotion and to assist in obedience, that is a good thing. Yes.
