Can I Use My Movie Website to Promote Halal Products?
Hanafi Fiqh
Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam
Question: Assalam ‘aleykum,
I have a movies and songs website, something similar to Youtube.
1. I own an e-commerce website for which I display adverts on the movie website.
2. I am affiliated with Amazon and some Halal businesses to promote their halal products on my movie website taking an agreed commission on their sales.
Is my income permissible?
Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray that you are well, insha’Allah.
The income you receive from your e-commerce website is permitted and lawful for you.
As for the “movies and songs” website, you should be wary of allowing impermissible content on there.
