Praise be to Allah.
In several answers we have already stated that it is haraam to deal with multilevel marketing schemes (or “pyramid schemes”) that charge a fee for joining or stipulate that one must buy a certain product in order to be able to engage in marketing and take commission, because that involves ambiguity and gambling, and because in this case the item or product is not what is sought; rather the aim is to join the marketing scheme in hopes of getting a lot of commission.
The reason why it is gambling is that the participant pays a joining fee or pays the price of the product in the hope of being able to attract customers and get commission, which may or may not happen, hence this is gambling.
With regard to permissible brokerage or agency services, that does not involve stipulating a condition that a joining fee must be paid or an item must be purchased before agreeing to act as a broker or agent.
Hope these evidences are enough to satisfy you. If you think they are not still enough, follow me keenly and get before you other equally thirst quenching evidences about the subject. In fact you can even educate others about it better than I’m doing. Be concerned about what concerns you yet seek knowledge, for ignorance is a prison wherein the inmates are those who are reluctant when it comes to seeking knowledge.
When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age. Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah.
Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
