It is permissible to earn profit by clicking on advertisements, provided two conditions are met: that the advertisements are Islamically permissible, and that the wage is known and specified.
It is not permissible to use programs for automatic clicking on advertisements, as this involves deceiving the owners of the advertised websites and assisting the company in consuming wealth unjustly.
