Is it permissible for a person to be paid a wage for teaching the Qur'an?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But we still have the issue of whether it is permissible for a person to be paid a wage for teaching the Qur'an? That is, if he says, "I will not teach this boy except for one hundred riyals per Juz," is that permissible or not? The correct view is that it is permissible, unlike if he says, "I will recite a Juz for you for one hundred riyals," in which case it is not permissible. Consequently, the reciters that the ignorant bring in during days of mourning to recite what they claim is for the deceased have no wage, no reward, and the wage they take is forbidden for them. Thus, they are deprived of the reward of this world and the Hereafter. As for the reward of the Hereafter, that is known, and as for the reward of this world, the money they took is not lawful for them. Yes, three, yes.

The Shaykh : How?
The student: The word "malakatka" (I owned you).
The reciter: Copies...
The Shaykh : Yes, copies. I have "malakatka" here, yes.
The reciter: Just mentioning the copies.
The Shaykh : There is nothing, there is nothing, no, and no need. You see, this is bad manners. You say, "The poet said such and such, the poet said such and such." This is a correction of the teacher. If I do not have a question and I ask you to review, there is no need. Now the issue is clear, yes.
