Is it permissible to sell ratings on Google Maps that are solely numerical (e.g., 10 five-star ratings), or must all ratings be accompanied by a comment explaining what is good about them?

It is impermissible to create fake reviews for stores or services, as this involves lying, deception, and misleading consumers. The matter becomes worse if the review is accompanied by a false comment, as this constitutes bearing false witness. It is also considered a fake review if a person uses multiple accounts for themselves. Any earnings obtained from these fake reviews are unlawful (haram).
