Taking money for leading the tarawih prayer without a prior condition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My voice in reciting the Qur'an is good, and I am not an imam, but they ask me to lead the people in the tarawih prayer in Ramadan. I do not condition them on a wage, but at the end of Ramadan they give me forty thousand. He asks: What is the ruling on my taking this money and continuing with this matter?
Answer:
It is permissible for you to take it, as long as you did not condition them on it and they paid it to you. If you leave it and seek the reward from Allah, that is better, without doubt. Yes.
