Assalamualaikum May Allah bless you more Amin, I Mustafa Abdul

00:00:06 --> 00:00:12

Hamid, from Gombe state Nigeria, I am a diploma holder is it allowed

00:00:12 --> 00:00:15

in Islam to participate in online businesses?

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

whatever business you do, whether it be online, whether it be

00:00:24 --> 00:00:29

offline, it has to be within the purview of the Islamic Sharia. You

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

cannot break any rule of the Islamic Sharia.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

And any business that is haram prohibited offline, it is even

00:00:41 --> 00:00:46

prohibited online. The same type of business it is even prohibited

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

online.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

Now the online business that you do, it should not involve in

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

selling haram products.

00:00:56 --> 00:01:00

For example, selling alcohol, selling poke, selling nones or be

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

Hamid selling cigarettes etc.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

You should not sell any haram products. Besides that,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

the online business that you do the information that you give, it

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

should not be misleading

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

and it should be correct information.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

It should not misguide the people it's not give misinformation about

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

any product.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

Besides this,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

you should not give false hopes and promises to the people.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:40

For example, you tell the people you tell the customers that the

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

product that you're selling, you can return it for example in seven

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

days, but when they want to return it you do not accept

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

the online business that you do it should not involve in cheating,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

gambling or luck. Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

said man hashanah fillet Samina whosoever cheats he is not from

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

among us. So cheating is prohibited in Islam you should

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

abstain from it

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

besides this, the transactions that you do it should not involve

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

in rebar

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

it should be free from interest that is rebar.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

This is very important that you take care of this

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

the advertisements

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

it should not involve in anything that is haram.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:36

For example, the advertisement should not have woman without

00:02:36 --> 00:02:36

hijab

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

should not have music.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:46

Most of the ads they involve in something that is haram. So you

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

should abstain from such advertisements.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

You can discuss in detail regarding online businesses.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

I've just mentioned a few points. So inshallah if you take care of

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

these things, if your business does not involve in anything that

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

is haram, it does not break any rule of the Sharia. Inshallah you

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

can do this online business
