Abstract

According the qur’ānic verses, God is the first teacher of the Qur’ān. The Prophet (s) used different methods to teach the Qur’ān and recommended others to teach it, especially to one’s children. The question of the permissibility or impermissibility of receiving wage for the teaching of the Qur’ān has brought about some disagreements among Muslim scholars, where each group has relied on some qur’ānic verses to prove its stance. In this article, the verses for the prohibition of receiving wage and the verses for the permissibility of receiving wage are presented and the interpretations of both these two groups of verses are examined and evaluated. At the end, a summary of the verses and the conclusions of the study are provided. Some jurisprudential denominations point out that the present-day Muslims do not have the vigorous faith of the Muslims of the early centuries and so, the impermissibility of receiving wage for the teaching of the Qur’ān and religious issues will lead to the abandonment of the Islamic rules. This way, they assert that receiving wage is permissible for the teaching of the Qur’ān. The adoption of this viewpoint has led to the prevalence of the Qur’ān and its teaching in the Muslim community.
