What is the ruling on profiting from uploading games to the internet whose content has not been screened?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to cooperate with websites, upload files to them, and earn money from that, provided certain conditions are met:
1. The content of the files must be permissible and authorized for publication by their owners. 2. The website to which the files are uploaded must be legitimate and not promote prohibited things. 3. The wage (payment) must be known and specified. It is not permissible for it to be dependent on a certain number of downloads, as this would make the wage unknown at that time.
It should also be noted that electronic games have jurisprudential rulings that govern their permissibility.
