Question

I have a question relating to network marketing.

I am a neolife distributor and I sell the products as well as recruit people under me, thus growing my team. I therefore earn based on their sales as well as my own.

My question is whether this is allowed by the shariah. Is the income earned from what they sell and thus contributing to my points and therfore my position within the company e.g. Senior manager, Halaal income?

Answer

We are not in favour for this type of a business.

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