Is working in the field of print-on-demand, where designs are created for products like shirts, and the selling price and profit margin are determined, then the website displays, prints, and ships them to the customer, permissible or forbidden? Is promoting products to increase sales forbidden? Is buying accounts that have already been accepted on the platform permissible? Is creating designs similar to profitable, in-demand designs, or using the same phrase with a change in font and additions, considered stealing an idea or forbidden, especially if the phrase is not copyrighted or a registered trademark?
A partnership agreement with a website to provide clothing designs for a known percentage is permissible, provided the website regulates its sales according to the method of 'Salam' (forward buying) or 'Istisna' (manufacturing contract). Purchasing another person's account is subject to the website's terms and conditions; if permitted, it is permissible, otherwise not. Promoting a product to increase sales is permissible, provided truthfulness and trustworthiness are observed. Creating a design that resembles other popular designs is permissible with modification and addition.
