Summary
In principle Islam permits doing business with non-Muslims as long as it involves nothing prohibited. Multi-level marketing direct selling is also permitted if it contains no deception or gharar. However, dealing with a company established for, or directly transacting toward, strengthening beliefs other than Islamic creed or spreading non-Islamic religion among Muslims is prohibited. A business valid in its contract can become haram due to external factors, such as leading to wrongdoing and sin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Islam pada asasnya mengharuskan berurus niaga dengan orang bukan Islam selagi mana ia tidak melibatkan perkara-perkara yang ditegah dan diharamkan oleh Islam.
