The second question of Fatwa no. 17314
Q 2: I am the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) in a Masjid (mosque) in our village, and I earn a salary in return for this. When I finished my secondary school, I moved to the capital to continue my studies. I took permission of those responsible for the Masjid, and they gave me permission. Is it permissible for me to continue receiving my salary? If not, what should I do, given that I do not want to lose my job after I finish my studies?
A: If you moved from the village to a far away place that does not enable you to hold the position of the Masjid Imam, it is impermissible for you to take a salary while you do not perform the job.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
