209. ‘Uthmān bin Abī Al-‘Ās narrated: “Indeed, among the last (of orders) Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ ordered me with was to employ a Mu'adh-dhin who would not take a wage for his Adhān.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Uthmān is Hasan [Ṣāḥih]. The people of knowledge act according to this: They dislike a Mu'adh-dhin to take a wage for the Adhān, and they consider it recommended for the Mu'adh-dhin to seek the reward (from Allāh) for his Adhān.
٢٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُبَيْدٍ وَهُوَ عَبْثَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِ اتَّخِذْ مُؤَذِّنًا» لَا يَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَذَانِهِ أَجْرًا. حَدِيثُ عُثْمَانَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: كَرِهُوا أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ عَلَى الْأَذَانِ أَجْرًا، وَاسْتَحَبُّوا لِلْمُؤَذِّنِ أَنْ يَحْتَسِبَ فِي أَذَانِهِ.

If a person is appointed as the caretaker for the other needs of the mosque, as it is actually known in these days and he is paid for the other works of the mosque, but he calls Adhān just for the sake of Allāh, then there is no objection on it.
