It is permissible to accept payment for teaching Qur’aan

Question: 20100

Is it right to take/accept money for teaching Quran?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

The Standing Committee was asked about whether it is permissible to accept payment for teaching Qur’aan. They replied: 

Yes, it is permissible to accept payment for teaching Qur’aan according to the more correct of the two scholarly views, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth:

“The thing for which you most deserve to take payment is the Book of Allaah,” (narrated by al-Bukhaari), and because there is a real need for that. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
