The answer

Dealing with these companies is forbidden for several reasons:

1. Fraud and impermissible deception, as the company requires merely visiting its websites to mislead users into believing that browsing has increased. 2. The amount paid is a usurious loan, because its repayment is guaranteed with a specific increase conditioned on visiting advertising websites. 3. If this work is considered an (leasing/hiring contract), it is a فاسدة ijarah (corrupt contract) because the wage is not specified. It is also an ijarah conditioned on a loan, which invalidates it. 4. The website contains impermissible elements from a perspective.
