Earning by viewing adverts online
Q: I am doing online work. The process of this work is that they have websites where we can work. They have the process that first we have to choose the package. I have chosen a package of 1000 rupees. It is a silver package. I have to see ads daily. One ad for one day. 1 ad will give me 60 rupees. This package is valid for 30 days. I will make 1800 rupees from there by watching ads daily on this website. After a month I can withdraw this amount in my easy paisa account. They cut out some service charges and give me 1700 or something. So I wanna know that if this money is halal for me or haram?
A: This way of earning is not permissible in shariah. Viewing an ad is not a valid service for which you will be entitled to receive a wage. Apart from this, if the ads contain pictures of animate objects or any other haraam content, then it will not be permissible for you to view the ad, and earning through it will only compound the sin. Hence, you should refrain from earning in this manner. The money earned in this manner is not halaal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
