This fictitious sale, which relies on making products appear popular through numerous fake sales and deceiving shoppers, is not permissible Islamically due to the deception and fraud it entails. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever cheats us is not of us." The deception is further compounded by requesting likes in exchange for a commission. If this method is not permissible, then taking a wage for it is also not permissible, because when Allah forbids something, He also forbids its price, and prohibited benefits cannot be compensated.
