The answer

The marketing system of network marketing companies often includes Sharia pitfalls such as charging subscription fees or requiring the purchase of a product for more than its actual value to enter the system. Furthermore, the commissions given to the marketer for those in his network are not permissible if they are part of his wages, due to the ambiguity of the wage and the resulting gharar (excessive uncertainty). The safest course of action is to avoid these systems due to their numerous pitfalls. The paths to lawful earnings are many for whoever fears Allah.
