Is it halal to make money from social media?
Assalamualaikum! I want to know if it is halal to earn money from social media in these ways. I asked this on an Islamic website but they did not reply so I am posting this here.
~TikTok~

- Subscription
- TikTok creator marketplace – Branded content
- Video gifts – The viewers can send you a gift
