- What is the ruling on profiting from ClickBank, a company that relies on affiliate marketing for digital products, where the marketer chooses products and markets them with a unique link and earns a commission of up to 75%? - What is the ruling on working with companies that request climate information in exchange for points redeemable for electronic gifts, and what is the ruling on providing inaccurate information in these reports? - What is the ruling on upgrading accounts in companies and websites for money to obtain higher privileges, such as increasing login points?
Brokerage is permissible if it does not involve assisting in a prohibited sale. It is permissible to take a known commission percentage. However, a commission with an unknown percentage is not permissible according to the majority of scholars, while the Hanbalis permitted it if the uncertainty does not prevent delivery, such that it becomes known in the end. If the percentage is fluctuating, it is an uncertainty that prevents delivery and leads to dispute, and thus, a ju'alah (stipulated reward) based on it is not valid.
As for your second question: 1. There is no harm in the company granting points for visiting its website or providing it with climate information. 2. Giving the company information that does not correspond to the actual climate is not permissible, as it constitutes deception and lying. 3. Upgrading an account for money is not permissible as it falls under prohibited gambling.
