Question
In our country (Ghana), on special occasions an Aalim / Imaam is paid for making dua. Is this permissible?
Answer
It is haraam to pay the Aalim/ Imaam for making a dua, regardless of when and where the dua is made. Ibaadat cannot be purchased. This is indeed an evil custom which must be abandoned.
