Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salamu’alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa –barakatuh.

The Quran is one of the greatest bounties of Allah Ta῾ālā given to us. When a person has the ability to recite the Quran then he should have the highest level of gratitude to Allah Taālā for bestowing him with such a favor. The purpose of reciting the Quran is to gain reward by means of which an individual could eventually gain the proximity of Allah Taālā. This should be the sole motivating factor for recitation of the Quran.

Taraweeh Salah is a great act of worship and should be performed solely for the pleasure of Allah. One should not take any remuneration for performing taraweeh. If the person performing taraweeh is made an Imam of the masjid for any Salah, he could be remunerated for that.[1]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

[مَطْلَبٌ فِي الِاسْتِئْجَارِ عَلَى الطَّاعَاتِ].}

2}قال: “ولا الاستئجار على الأذان والحج، وكذا الإمامة وتعليم القرآن والفقه” والأصل أن كل طاعة يختص بها المسلم لا يجوز الاستئجار عليه عندنا {الهداية في شرح بداية المبتدي – (3 / 238)}
