Giving Commission to Business Solicitors
Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. A company located in British Virgin Island named as Gold Quest International has its head office in Hong Kong. This company manufactures numismatic gold coins, gold jewelry, etc. The company has come up with a business plan for individuals. According to the business plan, an individual has to buy a single product from this Co. After purchasing the product, the company gives the person a specific identification number called TCO (Tracking Center Ownership). The TCO has to introduce/refer the same business to minimum 10 people. According to the business plan, after bringing 10 people to the business, the company pays U.S. Dollars 400/- as remuneration. Furthermore, when these 10 referred people refers the business to others the up line individual keeps on getting the credit to his geology report also and the individual becomes eligible to get remuneration from the company, as long as the new business is introduced by himself or any of the other individuals. In light of Islamic principles, I would appreciate receiving a fatwa to clear my doubt that the income generated through such means is halal or haram. Jazakum Allah khayran.
