What is the ruling of Islamic law on affiliate marketing for Amazon products using paid advertisements on platforms such as Facebook and Google, where the customer is directed to a landing page containing information about the product and a link that redirects them to Amazon to complete the purchase, in order to circumvent Amazon's terms that prohibit direct advertising on these platforms?

If the e-marketing method does not violate the terms and does not infringe upon the rights of others, then there is no harm in it. It is permissible to benefit from what is given in exchange for marketing, provided that nothing forbidden is promoted. However, if it involves a breach of terms, then it is not permissible to do so; based on the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts," and the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: "Muslims are bound by their stipulations."
