Question:
Did he fall into shirk (associating partners with Allah) here?
Answer:
Whoever works for the dinar commits minor shirk, if a person intends the worldly life by his work.
But if he has no faith and no mindfulness of Allah, it becomes major shirk.
However, if he only teaches for the sake of the world, or commands for the sake of the world, or forbids for the sake of the world, and not for the sake of Allah, it falls under the category of minor shirk:.
As for if it is for the sake of Allah, but he is given what helps him, there is no harm; he is given from the means of livelihood what helps him in that, and there is no blame on him.
