Summary
Giving a rating and review without using or checking the quality of the purchased item is regarded as deceiving other buyers, and it is prohibited. Shopee Coins obtained through such false ratings and reviews are haram to use and should be left until they expire. In principle, Shopee's granting of coins is permissible under the ju'alah contract, and rewards from a platform are allowed when the reviews are genuine and honest.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Shopee Coins yang diterima hasil daripada penilaian dan ulasan yang palsu adalah haram dan hendaklah dibiarkan sehingga luput.
