Earning money from participating in opinion polls and filling out questionnaires is permissible if the Shariah controls are met, among which is that it does not involve the promotion of evil or assistance in falsehood. If the company spreads lies and misleads people, especially concerning Arab countries, then it is not permissible to participate with it, unless that is merely a guess or unconfirmed news. Also, the wage must be known and specified; it is not permissible for it to be undefined (based on accumulating points).
