i agree, this sounds like borderline CatholicismI agree that Quransaar is not shirk, but it borders on shirk to pay someone to do it for you. Allah SWT judges intention - the one being paid to perform Quransaar doesn't care about helping the person, they care about payment. Our deen does not have intermediaries between the Creator and the Creation - the dua of one being paid is not sincere - that is pre-Islamic superstition similar to tasks that pagan Quraish care takers of the kabbah would do
