Ruling on paying salaries to those in charge of mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We will take a call from Abu Fahd from al-Ta'if. Go ahead, Abu Fahd. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Yes, I have a question regarding the mosques. Go ahead. The mosques that do not have deeds or compensation; first, the one who is in charge of the mosque needs encouragement and compensation. And the mosques need scales, carpets, and loudspeakers equally. The mu'adhdhin is the one who gets people up from sleep at Fajr and at all the times of prayer. And the mu'adhdhin, the imam, and the caretaker need support. And peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

Answer:
Yes, my brother, this question is important. The imam, may Allah reward him with good, for what he does in waking people up for prayer, alerting people to prayer, and leading the worshippers, his reward is with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. As for the issue of including mosques in the affairs of the mosques and paying salaries for the imam, the mu'adhdhin, and the caretaker, you should refer to the Waqf branch in al-Ta'if, which, if Allah wills, does not fall short in what is obligatory. Yes.
