The answer

What the aforementioned institution is doing is clear deception of buyers, and it must stop doing so. The questioner must repent because she is responsible for this deception by virtue of her job. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He who deceives is not of me." Narrated by Muslim. In addition, this action constitutes an infringement on the trademark of other companies, and the trademark is a right of its owners; it is not permissible to impersonate it or infringe upon it.
