Give them a fair wage but then the day should be utilised just a normal employed worker in a company would be.

That's the point. They aren't getting a fair wage!

on the other hand, there are some Imams who prefer to have a low wage and then are on 'low income' so claim off the state.

Thats another discussion all together.

How many work a normal job and do Imamat and madrassa but do not tell the government agencies of the job as imam and madrassa thus claiming more money from benefits.

I know enough scholars who work a proper 9-5 job,and then in the evening teach in the madrassa but do not show the hours/wage for the teaching thus basically defrauding the system.

so that also needs addressing. Funny in't it how that never gets a mention in lectures,about not comminting benefit fraud etc etc.

and then people complain about the lack of barakah............
