Question

If I force people to click on the ad and then download the file and ad network don't really allow such activities, will my earnings be halaal or haraam?

Answer

This way of earning is not recognized in Islam. Hence, the wealth acquired through this means is not halaal.

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

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.
