What is the Islamic ruling on participating in a software and mobile application design company that operates on a network marketing system, where €25 is paid for registration and €1500 for purchasing a product package, with the company committing to market 70% of the package for €450 per month for one year, and the subscriber is left to market the remaining 30% or use it personally, with a commission for bringing in new subscribers?
It is not permissible to deal with this company, which requires the payment of fees for subscription, because it is prohibited gambling.
Furthermore, speculating with the company by purchasing a package and marketing it for a monthly profit is not permissible, because it is a فاسدة (corrupt) Mudarabah, as one of the parties stipulates a known amount of profit.
