Profiting from ads on a Quran-teaching website

Question

I have read the Arabic Fatwa on your website where you have said that the Hanafis and Hanabalis have said that taking payment on teaching the Quran is not allowed and I agree with this view. Please keep this in mind when answering the following questions. My question is that if I make a website where I teach the Quran and Hadith and then place permitted advertisements to make money would that be equal to taking money on teaching the Quran? Or is the hadith in which a person has been forbidden to take money when teaching the Quran limited to taking money from the person one teaches? When a person places advertisements he is paid if a person clicks on the ad and then purchases a product. If I place such ads on a website which teaches the Quran will it be forbidden?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

The issue that was debated among scholars was about charging fees for teaching the Quran. However, there is nothing wrong with creating a website for teaching the Quran and earning profits from the ads on the website. Such earnings are lawful as long as the ads do not include violations of the Islamic Sharee'ah.

Allaah kows best.
