Qur'an competition
Question
I go to an Islamic school. Every year they have a mandatory Quran competition. I am a Hafiz and will very likely get nominated alhamdulilah. However, I know that I should not participate because there is a monetary prize for winning. What should I do in this situation?
Answer
Excuse yourself.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
