Is it permissible for a debt-ridden woman, whose husband has forbidden her from working, to work for My Way by selling its products if she does not engage in the pyramid scheme? And is it permissible to buy its products for personal use? What is the ruling on companies that offer membership as a gift for purchases exceeding a certain value, alongside a system of discounts, rewards, and gifts?
It was previously explained that it is not permissible to pay 20 Egyptian pounds or accumulate 25 points for membership in My Way company, because it is considered gambling. It is permissible to buy products and sell them directly to customers. However, obtaining membership in exchange for purchasing products worth a certain amount is forbidden if the membership is paid for. Therefore, do not buy products to obtain membership, but rather to sell them. There is no harm in receiving free bonuses and gifts, and selling the product at the catalog price after purchasing it at a lower price, while observing the regulations of brokerage and taking commission.
