Assalamu aleikum, sheikh Faraz mentions how wrong is to charge or to gain money for teaching the word of Allah, like making profit from it. This is something I have always felt very strong about. I am now studying Psychology, and going starting Islamic Counselling and I quite like it, but since it considers the counselor/therapist as a facilitators that helps the person to be back in contact with their inner guidance(fitrah), that is connected with Allah swt, how does it make it all right to charge as much money as the counselor services do? The training is clearly expensive, and I said to myself that is the time, skills and the counselor/therapists listening time that the client is paying for.
Am I confusedly mixing two things that are not connected?
Many thanks.
