Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The aforementioned website offers jobs for freelance work with a fixed salary or hourly rate, such as design, programming, translation, and article writing. This is permissible as long as the work itself is permissible. The website also grants 50 dollars when inviting a friend who earns or pays 1000 dollars. This is permissible because it falls under the category of brokerage (simsara), provided that the work of the invited friend is also permissible.
