It's common knowledge that on Shopee and other online shopping platforms, many users like to give a 5-star rating and brief reviews on goods that have not yet arrived or have not been used. If you're wondering why, it's because of Shopee Coins. But did you know that this is actually against Islamic Law?
According to the Pejabat Mufti Wilayah Persekutuan, giving fake reviews without any real experience is a form of fraud. Not only does it mislead other buyers, but it also undermines the integrity of truly honest sellers. As per Islamic Law, such actions are haram and prohibited, and using this method to obtain Shopee Coins is also considered non-halal.
Digging deeper from the source, the organisation also said the Shopee Coins reward comes from a valid contract known as akad ju'alah, and it can still be void if accompanied by fraudulent acts. Therefore, Shopee Coins obtained from fake reviews cannot be used and should be allowed to lapse.
This piece of news may sound a bit "over the top" to non-religious users, but we do agree that giving invalid reviews such as "Product reached safely and fast" doesn't really say much about the product quality. With this, we hope every buyer can practice a better way of giving reviews and ratings online. Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
