The answer

The image in question involves two rental contracts because the person pays a sum to the company in exchange for accessing specific websites, and then leases himself to the company to browse a certain number of websites for a percentage of the amount.

This includes several prohibitions: 1. The company pays a commission not for a legitimate benefit, but merely for accessing websites. 2. The subscriber pays an amount not for a legitimate benefit, but to earn profit in this manner. 3. The wage is not fixed; rather, it is a percentage of the amount, which may fall under the category of "two sales in one sale," which the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade.

Therefore, this subscription is not permissible.
