The question

What is the ruling on earning profit from a website that relies on browsing and clicking on advertisements, where 10 cents are earned for each advertising unit, and other people can be invited to earn through them at a rate of 50% of their income, knowing that the website includes regular advertisements and one advertisement with an image of a woman?

The answer

This field is not without religious pitfalls; because clicking on advertisements is not for the purpose of viewing their content, but only for earning money. This is a deception to the advertisers who spent their money promoting their goods, and this gives them the illusion that many people have viewed their ads, which is contrary to reality. Therefore, this path must be avoided, and lawful ways of earning a living should be sought. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the Holy Spirit has inspired in my soul that no soul will die until it completes its term and exhausts its provision, so fear Allah and be graceful in seeking provision."
