Ruling on taking on the adhan in the name of another person

Question: I am a young man who has not obtained a civil service certificate, and I am the mu'adhdhin of a mosque. The imam of the mosque said to me: I want to register you with the Endowments Authority so that you can receive a salary. We will write the adhan in the name of a second person, while the adhan is yours, and you receive the salary. Is it permissible to take the salary and the adhan under a name that is not mine? Is it fraud or not? And if I take the salary and it is fraud, what should I do with it? Should I give it in charity, or what should I do with it?

Answer: This is reprehensible and fraudulent, and it is not permissible. You must return the money to the Endowments Authority. If that is not possible, give it in charity to the poor and the like, because it is money taken without right, and it was not possible to return it to its rightful owner. Therefore, it must be spent in a direction of good, such as the poor, repairing restrooms, and the like.
