What is the ruling on working for the company Profits25, which specializes in online advertising and relies on buying advertising shares and clicking on ads in exchange for receiving specified profits and the invested capital within four months, in addition to the possibility of achieving extra profit by inviting other people to invest, knowing that there are forbidden or suspicious advertisements among the displayed ads?

First: The profit share as a percentage of the paid-up capital is impermissible. Furthermore, earning profit from advertisements in exchange for a sum paid by the subscriber is impermissible due to its inclusion of gambling.

Second: The mentioned incubation (احتضان) might be a form of جعالة (a promise of reward for a specific act), and it is permissible for the ja’l (reward) to be a percentage of the shares of the invited individuals, based on the view that it is permissible for the ja’l to be a percentage of the profit or the price.

Third: The mentioned company promotes both permissible and prohibited advertisements, thus it falls under the ruling of mixed companies, and the fatwa (religious edict) with us is that participation in them is prohibited.

In conclusion, dealing with this company involves multiple prohibitions, and therefore it is impermissible.
