Is acquiring a "bio-disc" considered a form of forbidden amulets and charms? Is it permissible to trade in it if doubts surround its benefit and its very high price compared to its real value? What is the ruling on pyramid schemes from the perspective of Sharia, especially if the primary intention is commissions rather than the product? Is there a Sharia text that confirms its prohibition? Is profit from Google ads halal if they include advertisements for social or Christian websites?
As for multi-level marketing, it is prohibited. Regarding the existence of a hadith indicating the importance of intention in transactions, yes, it is the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Deeds are only by intentions, and every person will have what he intended." As for the aforementioned disc, it is an alleged product with many claimed medical and therapeutic benefits, and it purports to transform negative energy into positive. Some websites have warned against it and described the manufacturing company as fraudulent. The truth of the matter must be proven by an accredited authority or trusted specialists to determine its Sharia and scientific standing, and caution is paramount. As for taking a commission for displaying an advertisement for a company on your website, there is no harm in it if the content of the advertisement is permissible and does not promote forbidden things.
