The question

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?

The answer

It is permissible for the sister to take the full salary if the responsible authorities approve the transfer of her job to the teaching profession with the full salary. This is because custom has established a difference in working hours from one job to another, and the salaries of teachers are not to be measured by the simple allowances some receive. For salary differs from an allowance, and custom has established a distinction between a permanent employee and one who works for specific periods.
