The answer

If the is compensated from the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal) or endowments (Awqaf), there is no harm in that, because it meets a need of the Muslims and prevents its cessation. However, if the payment comes from an individual or a group, it is preferable to avoid the difference of opinion, due to the prohibition against taking wages for the Adhan, unless you are poor and in need. In that case, it is permissible for you to take it, and this does not detract from your original intention, and you will be rewarded for it.
