Summary
Many Quranic verses and hadiths describe the virtue of reciting and learning the Quran, including intercession on the Day of Judgement, tranquillity and mercy descending on gatherings of recitation, and reward for every letter recited. The Quran should be learned through a teacher by direct oral transmission (talaqqi), following the practice of the Prophet with Jibril and the early generations. The ruling chosen permits taking payment for teaching the Quran, to cover the teacher's effort, transport and time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
