Is Amazon Affiliate program Halal?

Everyday Islamic Finance Business and Career Questions

ASA,

Best to explain with an example.

I have an affiliate link to a product on Amazon.
I get paid a commission if someone uses my link and buys the product.

I also get paid a commission if they use my link and buy something else - which could be Haraam.

I think this would not happen very often.

I’m not sure, but I believe I can find out which products the user bought and maybe able to work out what was Halal or Haraam.

Please let me know if this is permissible.

Jazakallah.

Wa alaykum salaam,

If your link goes to sites which have a mixture, with the majority of halal products, then it is permissible for you to benefit from the commission earned.

Allah knows best
