Is a woman's seeking help in facilitating marriage by reciting Quranic verses in exchange for payment considered lawful or unlawful?
Hiring someone to recite the Quran for the purpose of facilitating marriage is an innovated act for which there is no evidence, and therefore it should be abandoned. It is advised to persevere in performing obligatory acts and supererogatory prayers, to consistently engage in the remembrance of Allah and the morning and evening remembrances, and to ask Allah Almighty, supplicating to Him frequently and humbly, to grant you a righteous husband and offspring. What is with Allah cannot be attained except through obedience to Him and by adhering to seeking forgiveness, for Allah Almighty says: (And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [abundance]. And give you increase in wealth and children and make for you gardens and make for you rivers.') and His saying, exalted be He: (And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect).
