Earning through Amazon Affiliate Marketing
Question
Amazon Affiliate Marketing is part of the Amazon Associates Program. It allows you to promote Amazon products through your unique affiliate links. When someone clicks on your link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission.
Question is, is it halal for earning money through Amazon Affiliate Marketing, if the product is halal? Would the money be halal for the affiliate marketers?
Answer
This form of earning is permissible in Shariah. This is regarded as earning commission for advertising. Hence, if the product which one is advertising for Amazon is halaal and there is nothing impermissible associated with it, then it will be permissible and the commission one earns through it will also be halaal.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
