Question

I am launching a new online website.Insha Allah. There are a few websites that offer a very similar service. I subscribe to these competitor websites. Their clients have items listed for sale on the site and the clients details are available, can I use these contact details to invite their customers to join my site. Is this permissible?

Answer

It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
