Are Cashback Sites Halal?

Quick answer Halal

Generally yes. Cashback sites pass on part of the commission a shop pays for sending a customer, which is a permitted agency fee, not interest. Avoid cashback that depends on taking out credit, gambling or buying haram products.

Also asked as: “Is TopCashback halal?” · “Is Quidco halal?” · “Is cashback riba?”

How it works

The shop pays the website a commission; the site shares some with you. Scholars treat this like a discount or referral fee.

What to avoid

Offers for loans, credit cards with interest, betting sites or alcohol. See are credit cards halal?

Cashback sites

Cashback sites earn commission from retailers when you buy through their link, and share part with you. The money comes from the shop's marketing budget, not from a loan.

Avoid offers tied to credit cards, loans or gambling, and be careful about buying more than you need for a bonus.
