673. It was narrated that 'Uthmân bin Abî Al-'Âş said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, make me the Imâm of my people.' He said: 'You are their Imâm, so consider the weakest among them and choose a Mu'adhhdhin who does not accept any payment for his Adhân.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

672 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، اجْعَلْنِي إِمَامَ قَوْمِي. فَقَالَ: «أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ، وَاقْتَدِ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ، وَاتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا»

Commentary

Taking wages for the Adhân, for leading prayers, or for teaching is permissible according to many scholars. But it is better not to take it.
