Does receiving financial compensation from an Islamic website affect the youth's reward in the hereafter, based on what was mentioned by Ibn Hajar?

If the recompense (payment) comes to the website owners without them asking, then their reward is not diminished. However, if they request it, for example, by announcing a specific amount for placing advertisements, then taking this money diminishes their reward because they asked for it. But if someone gives them assistance without them asking, there is no harm in them taking it, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If something of this money comes to you while you are neither covetous nor a beggar, then take it; otherwise, do not let your soul follow it."
