regarding agency in the call to prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. If a person wants to appoint someone as an agent and says to him, "The agent accepts on the condition that the salary is for me," is this valid from the agent?
The Shaykh : He says: If a person wants to appoint someone to be an imam or a mu'adhdhin, and the agent says, "There is no harm, on the condition that the salary is for me," I hesitate on this. It may be said that this is not permissible, because the work of this person clearly shows that he is seeking worldly gain. It may also be said that there is a benefit in this.
