What is the ruling on profiting from an advertising company that requires watching ads weekly in exchange for a sum of money, and pays a bonus for every two members who register through the subscriber?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to browsing advertisements in exchange for a known compensation paid by the company, nor to attracting subscribers to it and receiving a commission for each subscriber, provided that the subscriber does not pay fees for browsing, and that the advertisements are permissible, do not promote anything forbidden, and do not contain nude images. If the transaction includes these prohibitions, then it is not permissible to engage in it.
