Answer
Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Recite the
Qur'aan. Do not eat by means of it. ….The majority of the munaafiqeen of my Ummah are its qaaris.' In another narration pertaining to the Signs of Qiyaamah, it is mentioned: "The dunya will be pursued with the amal (deeds) of the Aakhirah." Another Hadith states: "Knowledge (of the Deen) will be acquired for purposes other than the Deen."
All of these Ahaadith as well as many others are applicable to the miserable 'shaikh' who trades the Qur'aan for a miserable price. He nourishes his body with the haraam money he derives from selling the Qur'aan Majeed so miserably and cheaply. This faasiq so-called 'sheikh' aggravates his villainy by inviting even women to participate in his haraam classes which he presents as Qur'aanic classes. It is not permissible to participate in programmes of this nature.
