The Ruling on Prizes for Memorizers of the Noble Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: O Shaykh! In one of her questions: Is there anything prohibited in taking money for participating in Qur'an competitions? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Qur'an competitions contain great good. If they provide assistance in memorizing whatever of the Qur'an is easy to memorize, or in deriving rulings and extracting benefits, this falls under the category of wages and encouragement. There is nothing wrong with this; rather, it falls under the category of a reward for a specific task, and there is no blame in that. Yes.
