Shadow Resourcing
Some big tech companies in Pakistan using a marketing tactics that’s shadow resourcing. When they hire some local client from Pakistan they change their name from Pakistani name to an English name, and they also show the number of experience 8+ years even though in reality it’s 3 years.
So they claim because foreign clients feel insecure working with third world countries so it’s required to change the identity. Also they claim “if client is happy with output or results of 3 years, it’s totally okay to do so.”

It is a lie and therefore wrong; however, if the client is satisfied, the work and income are halal. The lie is harmless, but it is still unethical.
-
Sometimes client share credentials or sensitive information with you, that are required to fulfill his task. So by sharing it with other can be harmful. Secondly what makes an earning haram if lie doesn’t?

Many things can make a trade haram. If you do not provide him with the same things you promised, for example.

Assalamu Alaikum Dr Irfan Shahzad @Irfan76
I hope you are doing well.
I would like to ask a similar question and seek your guidance.
I work in an online truck dispatching job. In this work, we deal with American truck drivers and provide them with dispatching services. The service we provide is completely real and legal.
However, when we initially contact the drivers, we tell them a fake English name and also say that our office is in America, while in reality we only have a virtual address.
So the service itself is genuine and legal, but our names and office address are not presented exactly as they are.
My question is would the income earned from such work be considered haram or not? Since the service itself is real and legal, but the name and location mentioned at the start are not as we present them.
Kindly provide Shariah guidance on this matter.
Jazakum Allahu Khairan. -
The anomaly is only in telling the wrong names and locations; if it does not affect the nature of the job, the job itself is halal, but with an element of harmless lie.
