Ruling on taking a wage for teaching the Noble Qur'an

Question:
A message was received for the program from the listener Abdul Aziz Abdul Jalil from Egypt, Fayoum Governorate. He asks and says: What is the ruling on taking a wage for teaching the Noble Qur'an in Qur'an memorization schools?

Answer:
There is no harm in that; the correct view is that there is nothing wrong with it. This is because taking a wage helps him to continue teaching and to be patient with it. Also, many people may not be able to teach without receiving something, because they do not have an income to support their livelihood, so that they can devote themselves to teaching. If they are given a wage for it, they can devote themselves to teaching and benefit people.
Al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: This includes teaching. Teaching is the most important thing regarding the Qur'an: teaching people, guiding them, and directing them. This person memorizes and that person teaches. This is among the most important matters and among the best acts of drawing near to Allah. So if he takes a wage for it to help him with this great matter, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
