The question

What is the ruling on receiving payment for subscribing to YouTube channels that do not contain Sharia-prohibited content, and on purchasing tickets for films that do not violate Sharia with the aim of increasing their popularity, while recuperating the money paid along with a bonus for increasing the value of the paid tasks?

The answer

It is permissible to profit from online tasks under certain conditions: that the subscription is free, otherwise it is forbidden gambling; and that the tasks are permissible and do not involve anything forbidden or aid in it, for Allah Almighty says: ﴿And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty﴾; and that there is no deception of others, such as falsely boosting the popularity of a movie or channel, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats is not from us." One should also avoid channels that are often not free from forbidden things.
