Is it permissible to charge a monthly

Q: I am a Qur'an teacher living in Huraymila'. I have memorized all of the Qur'an. Every year in Ramadan, the Imam (leader of congregational Prayer) of the Masjid (mosque) travels to Abha and delegates me to lead people in Tarawih (special supererogatory night Prayer in Ramadan). When he returns, he gives me a reward on his own, without stipulating it in advance. Is it permissible for me to take this reward? I heard that it is impermissible. What is the evidence on this, so that I can convince the Imam? May Allah reward you.


A: If the case is as you have mentioned, there is no wrong in this. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
