What is the ruling on canceling an online order for a product to increase its rating and receive a commission?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The method of buying goods through e-shopping and then canceling the order to increase their rating, promote them, and earn a commission for it is not permissible because it involves deception and fraud. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever deceives us is not of us." He also said: "Whoever deceives us is not of us, and scheming and deception are in the Fire." It is not permissible to take a wage for this promotion because it is forbidden, as forbidden benefits cannot be compensated.
