Can an Imaam charge for performing a nikaah

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can an Imaam charge you a fee when doing a Nikaah because I’ve asked everybody and everybody’s answer is the same that the Imam is not suppose to charge but rather you can give what you can afford to give him as thanks. Also the islamic community pays the Imam for nikaahs, janaazahs etc.. so why should there be a charge?

Bismillaah

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
