What is the ruling on affiliate marketing on foreign websites, especially on Amazon and ClickBank, given the presence of advertisements showing unveiled women, and is it permissible to market permissible products despite the existence of this doubt? Is it permissible to remove the doubtful element from the advertisement on my website while it remains on the original product website? What is the ruling on marketing products whose full content I do not know? What is the ruling on directing a buyer to a website where images of unveiled women appear? Is it permissible to market products specific to women (such as nutrition classes for pregnant women) which display images of unveiled women, but only to women?
1. The basic ruling for affiliate marketing is permissibility, provided that the commission is known (a fixed amount or a known percentage).
2. Marketing a permissible product that has a questionable element (such as the presence of images of unveiled women on the website) is not forbidden, as long as the website is not pornographic or predominantly evil, due to the widespread nature of such images.
3. It is permissible to rely on the seller's description and to ask previous buyers of the product, while being truthful in promotion and avoiding deception or excessive praise.
4. The presence of forbidden images on websites does not prohibit benefiting from them, provided one lowers their gaze from what Allah has forbidden.
