Acheter des abonnés en ligne : est-ce haram ?

Islam has a specific disease named for this: riya, doing deeds to be seen by people, which the Quran associates with hypocrisy (107:4-6). Buying followers is riya with financing. The broader category is deception — creating a false impression of influence — and while scholars debate whether the purchase alone reaches haram, there is no debate about what follows: using fake metrics to extract money from advertisers is consuming wealth unjustly (4:29), a clear prohibition. The Prophet forbade najsh — fake bidding in the market to inflate prices by manufacturing false demand (Sahih al-Bukhari) — and fatwa councils apply the same logic to manufactured engagement: it corrupts the signals honest trade depends on. The Muslim alternative is tawakkul and patience: build real work, let Allah grow it, and remember that the first recipient of show-off deeds on Judgment Day is told, 'you did it to be seen, and it was seen — you have your reward.'
