Is it permissible to create an Islamic website to publish religious articles and place marketing advertisements on it that are not immodest, or is this considered trading with religion?

It is permissible to place commercial advertisements on an Islamic website, and this is not considered trading with religion, nor does it diminish the good intention of seeking reward. This is based on the Almighty's saying: {There is no blame upon you for seeking bounty from your Lord}, and because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said before battle: "Whoever kills a slain person, his spoils are for him." Also, a Quran teacher taking a wage for his teaching does not contradict the attainment of reward and recompense from Allah.
