What is the ruling on earning money by uploading files to the Internet?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in earning profits from websites in exchange for uploading files, as the website benefits from a high number of browsers. However, it must be noted that some websites display commercial advertisements that may contain prohibited content (such as pornographic websites and usurious banks). Therefore, one must choose websites free of such advertisements to avoid indicating approval of what is unlawful.
