Does accepting payment for teaching Qur’aan and Arabic deprive a person of the reward?
Question

                I live in a European country. I started giving private lessons in the Arabic language to the neighbors’ children, and I am paid for this. Will I be rewarded by Allah although I am taking money for what I teach?.
Praise be to Allah.There is nothing wrong with 
    accepting payment for teaching Arabic, and there is nothing wrong with 
    accepting it for teaching Qur’aan, and that does not mean that one will not 
    be rewarded for it, if he does the task well and intends thereby to benefit 
    the Muslims and bring them closer to the language of their Prophet and their 
    Qur’aan. 
The scholars of the 
    Standing Committee were asked: What is the ruling on accepting payment for 
    teaching young children to memorize Qur’aan? If you say that it is 
    permissible, will the teacher be rewarded by Allaah after taking a monthly 
    salary? 
They replied: Learning and 
    teaching the Holy Qur’aan is one of the best means of drawing closer to 
    Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, if one’s intention is sound. The 
    Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged learning 
    and teaching Qur’aan as he said: “The best of you is the one who learns the 
    Qur’aan and teaches it.” Accepting payment for teaching Qur’aan does not 
    deprive the Qur’aan teacher of reward from Allaah if his intention is 
    sincere. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and 
    peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
