223124: ACN and MLM

Asalamualaikum Sheikh

In London there is a company called acn

http://acninc.com/

http://acneuro.co.uk/

Is this company halal to work in or harram and can you link this with other fatwa related to this.

Jazakallahukhair

Praise be to Allah,

We have previously indicated in many answers that it is prohibited to engage in network marketing which imposes subscription fees on the client or obliges him to buy a specific product so that he can market it and take the commission, because it is based on ambiguity and gambling, and because the product here is not intended, but what is intended is to enter the marketing system hoping to earn a big commission.

The point of gambling is that the subscriber pays the fee or the price of a product hoping to attract customers and taking the commission; this may happen or may not happen, and this is gambling.

As for permissible brokerage, it does not require one to pay subscription fees nor to buy an item before its auction.

See the answers to questions (42579), (40263) and (45898

And Allah knows best

Asalaamu alaykum,

I pray you are well.

I have read the documents of ACN and find their business non Shariah compliant. Hence, it is not permissible to join such a scheme.

And Allah knows best

I humbly request you make dua Allah grants me acceptance and gives me the most noble of deaths.

can you give us a fatwa for this company on it being haram or not.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Mufti Zameelur Rahman (may Allah preserve him) of the Darul Iftaa, recently answered an inquiry regarding “ACN” and stated the following:

“Our conclusion is that while the basic structure of the scheme may be justified according to principles of Sharī‘ah, there are impermissible conditions in the contract which render the entire contract impermissible (fāsid). One such condition is the following: “ACN reserves the right to reduce commissionable revenue by a percentage factor for promotional plans, products, negotiated pricing or certain services.”[1] This unilateral right to reduce the commissionable revenue by a percentage factor without consent from the independent representative renders the remuneration undeterminable,[2] which could lead to argumentation and dispute between ACN and its Representative.”
