Is permissible that the Husseini preacher accepts to take money for preaching in Muharram?

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is permissible. However, if the purpose of preaching is to take money, it is like the building constructor who takes daily fees or sells the things that can help in establishing the mosque. Should the preacher be in need for money to his own, his family expenditures and the books which he needs in serving the Husseini pulpit under the intention of getting closer to Allah, he would have deserved the money that is agreed upon and the rewards. We know that if the preacher works for free, his audience will be few. Yet, if he takes money in order to increase the beneficial attendants, taking the money and the preaching are acts of worship. Allah is the All Guide and Knowing.
