Is it permissible for a female employee to receive a full salary for teaching the Quran two hours a day, knowing that she will transfer from her current job to a teaching position through mediation, and that her salary will be higher than the remunerations of other Quran teachers in her country, or should she only take a stipend, and what should she do with the rest of the salary?
