Is it permissible, in Islamic law, to profit from the RST application, which relies on clicking on products to increase their views, and is the money earned from it lawful?

It is permissible to profit from clicking on advertisements, provided certain conditions are met: that access is free, that the advertisements and products are permissible and do not assist in anything forbidden, and that there is no deception or fraud. This is because clicking to increase the number of views is considered deception that misleads customers into believing there is a desire for the product, which resembles the forbidden najsh (artificially inflating prices by bidding without intention to buy) that involves deceiving the buyer.
