Taking a gift or remuneration for performing the taraaweeh
Q: I read a mas'alah on http://www.thejamiat.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id… below:
"It is not permissible for a Hafiz who recited Taraweeh to receive remuneration for his Taraweeh recital. His Salaat will not be accepted if he takes a fee or ‘gifts’ for his Taraweeh performance."
But In the Masjid of our village, people collect money for Imaam (he leads taraweeh), and give him at the last night when he completes recitation of Whole Quran. Is it correct to do what is being done in our village?
