Question

Is it halal to write an assignment and get paid daily depends on the registration if you have registered 1000 rupees, you will get 100 daily, and so on. Please let me know if it is halal.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

If you are providing assignments to customers or students as a template for them to follow and write their own work accordingly, it is allowed and acceptable. This is a normal transaction. However, if you are writing assignments on behalf of customers or students and they are submitting them as their own work, it is considered deception and fraud, it is not permissible.

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) passed by a man who was selling food. He put his hand in it and saw that there was something wrong with it. The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, ‘He is not one of us who cheats.”‘ [ibn Majah]
