Question:
Is it permissible for a person who is currently memorising the Qurʾān to have the intention of teaching it once he finishes his memorisation?
Answer:
Yes, this is permissible; and this is a great intention. When a person is memorising the Qurʾān, he is intending thereby to have the Book of Allāh in his chest, such that he can stand at night and recite it and pray to Allāh with it. And he additionally has the intention of when he finishes, to teach other people how to do the same—and this is from the best of intentions.
