Shaykh Zayn al-Deen was a prominent Hanafi jurist from Turkey who lived in the 10th century after Hijrah. He wrote a lengthy treatise on the issue of taking compensation over recitation of the Qur'an. This edition includes a beneficial introduction by Ameenah Umar al-Kharrat, with detailed articles explaining the stances of the four madh-habs on some related issues: taking payment for teaching Qur'an, the issue of gifting reward of recitation of the Quran to the deceased (Eesal thawab), hiring someone to recite Qur'an, and reciting Qur'an at the graveyard.
