The answer

"For a sale to be valid, jurists stipulate that the item sold must be something from which benefit can be derived. Anything that has no benefit cannot be sold, because it has no value, and taking compensation for it is devouring wealth unjustly. This includes signatures that have no benefit or financial value; therefore, it is not permissible to sell or buy them. In addition, a Muslim should not imitate those who engage in such sales, like artists and athletes. Rather, his inclination and imitation should be towards people of goodness and righteousness. The one who buys such things is squandering money, and the one who sells them is devouring his brother's wealth unjustly."
