Is it permissible for me to take

Q: What is the ruling on receiving monthly fees for teaching the Qur'an to young children? If it is permissible, does a person who teaches the Qur'an also receive a reward from Allah?

A: Both learning and teaching the Qur'an are among the best deeds through which a person can draw near to Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) (Part No. 15; Page No. 100) provided that the intention is to attain the pleasure of Allah. The prophet (peace be upon him) used to encourage Muslims to both learn and teach the Qur'an. One Hadith narrated in this regard provides: The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it. The fact that teachers receive fees for teaching the Qur'an, does not necessarily mean that no reward is attained from Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) as long as the intention to teach is solely made to attain His pleasure. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
