What is the ruling on being promoted through articles in commercial magazines that do not rely on scientific peer review, and what is the ruling on the earnings of the intermediary who promotes and facilitates publication in them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the promotion requirements stipulate the publication of articles in peer-reviewed journals, then it is not permissible to circumvent this condition by using non-peer-reviewed journals whose sole aim is financial gain. If the act itself is impermissible, then brokering and promoting it, whether for a fee or without, are also impermissible.
