Working for FLP
Q: I want to know if it is halaal to work in a network marketing company especially in FLP company America.
This is a brief overview of how the company works:
After free registration under sponsorship of a person who I join through his ID, the company is giving us their products (aloevera contained-health products) with some discount to sell them to the general public.
We have to then pass different levels in order to achieve different status in the company
1) We have to buy at least 5000 products and sell them. To achieve the level in which we can add/join some other person under ourselves (under our sponsorship) to do the same business. After achieving this, we become "business owner".
2) We have to sell/recommend the product of cost 33000 to acheive 2cc (cc=case credit), which is common currency of this company all over the world). In this case, we become "assistant supervisor".
Likewise, the more CCs we achieve, the different levels we reach and the higher salaries we earn.
3) Here we receive bonus/passive income from our downlines (the people who joined me or the person who joined them, and carrying on further down the chain) as well. We receive some special percentage of amount from their (downlines) work as well. This earning is called "bonus or passive income" here.
However, the bonus amount/passive income is subject to a condition that we must fulfil, that we have to generate a special number of CCs (case credits) by ourselves actively, then only we can receive our passive income otherwise we will be denied any passive/bonus income.
Please advise on the permissibility of above.
