Question
referring to your fatwa number 8214, I would like to know if someone down the line buys a product which is unislamic or Haraam , without my knowledge or with my knowledge, does my commission which I receive considered to be Haraam or Halall?
Answer
There are two issues in your query.
- Sin for referrals.
- Commission.
If you referred the customer to the store and he on his own purchased an un-Islamic item, you will not be sinful for that. However, you cannot collect the specific commission for the sale of the un-islamic item.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best
