(Fatwa: 990/990/M=1434)
It is not ibadat to recite the holy Quran for the blessings and prosperity of shop, house etc rather it is a kind of treatment for worldly purpose which is lawful; hence it is lawful to call Hafiz for recitation and give him some gift. The Hafiz is also allowed to receive the travel and other expenses.
