Question

There is a website called g2a, it sells games n is used by many famous gamers, i made an account and they say that we can make you a link. they say this to every person that joins their website. when they make me a link, i can send that link to my friends. my friends can open that link and if they wish to buy a game. lets say they buy a game for 30 dollars, i will get 5 dollars from that 30 dollars because i sent them the link. the other 25 dollars will go to the company. Is earning money in this way haram?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

If the website does not charge any fees for creating an account and for marketing its products whether in the form of cash or buying a game or the like, then there is no harm in marketing its games and sending out the link to it in order to profit from the commission earned whenever a new customer buys their games by way of you, provided that these games are lawful.

Allaah Knows best.
