regarding the ruling on taking a wage for the adhan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : But now, O Shaykh, some people, when they come to the mosque...
The Shaykh : By Allah, in any case, this compromises sincerity; there is no doubt that it compromises sincerity. However, I do not see it as forbidden for him, because he may have needs, meaning he is in need, and he cannot meet that need except through this. But there is no doubt that it... affects sincerity. It is said that in a certain country, the mu'adhdhin began saying "Hayya 'ala al-salah" once and "Hayya 'ala al-falah" once. When he was asked about this, he said, "My salary was reduced by twenty percent, and this is the amount that is reduced from the adhan." Allah knows best; it may be true, or it may not be true. Yes.
