What is the ruling on dealing with the Qnet company, which operates in network marketing, and does it differ from pyramid marketing, knowing that the basic principle in transactions is permissibility?

Network marketing in the aforementioned company is forbidden. The fatwas that prohibited pyramid marketing elucidated the reasons for the prohibition. So, if these proscriptions are found [in a practice], it is forbidden; otherwise, there is no harm. The decisive factor lies in the presence of Sharia-compliant regulations and the absence of proscriptions such as gharar (excessive uncertainty), gambling, injustice, and usury, not in the difference in names or characteristics. The fatwa of a mufti or the ruling of a judge does not forbid what is permissible or permit what is forbidden if the reality contradicts what was described to them.
