Is it permissible to subscribe to an online program where the subscriber pays an amount in exchange for obtaining 40 tasks that include liking advertisements for various products, in return for a commission that differs from one product to another, knowing that no product is purchased and the subscriber is not obliged to add other people, but rather is required to work to receive the payment?

Participation in this program is forbidden due to its inclusion of several prohibitions, among them: 1. The requirement for the participant to pay a sum of money: This falls under the meaning of gambling, because one pays money in exchange for potential gains, and may lose what was paid. Moreover, the participant is the one providing the service and is entitled to a commission for it, so there is no justification for paying money in exchange for it. 2. Merely expressing admiration for the product: This falls under prohibited deception and misrepresentation, as the product may not be worthy of admiration, and this leads to misleading people and making the product appear desirable when it is not. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." It also falls under the category of "one who pretends to have been given what he has not been given," who is like one who wears two garments of falsehood.

Therefore, it is obligatory to avoid this work, and lawful earnings are abundant for those who seek them. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No soul will die until it completes its term and receives its full provision. So, fear Allah and be moderate in seeking your livelihood."
