It is permissible to accept payment for teaching Qur’aan

 

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

Praise be to
Allaah.  

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.
