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............

i think there is more to it than that....

anyways lets not start with this slandering already.

the reason why they dont declare that income is most probably your local mosque is a registered charity. im not too privvy on the specifics but i do know that its actually the mosque that tells them to accept cash in hand because it makes it easy for them, voluntary work with goodwill gestures.

also some, ok rather very few teachers dont do it for the money, they just teach because they can and want to, to them the money is a well and truely a good will gesture.

anyway its not as clear cut as some of you guys are making out. im not saying your totally off the mark as some people do exist like you claim, but some also dont.
