Abstract EN

The issue of multi-level marketing (also known as pyramid schemes) is one of the contemporary issues that have spread in recent years in Muslim countries, coming from the West.

Many Muslims have pursued it in the hope of getting rich quickly.

However, the truth about such companies soon appear since some companies disappear and other ones are reborn.

Therefore, it is necessary to make clear the ruling of such type of marketing to people.

This form of marketing is based on a contract that includes gambling, fraud, deception, unfairness, and taking people's money unlawfully; it is an unlawful, corrupt contract, and it is not permissible to deal with it or help spread it.

This is the view of the majority of scholars and researchers in our age, including the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta' in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic Fiqh Academy in the Sudan, Al-Imam Al-Albani Center for Methodological Studies and Scientific Research in Jordan, Dar ul-Ifta in Aleppo, Ansar us-Sunnati l-Muhammadiyah in Egypt, and others.
