Question

With regards to my teenage daughter... She loves painting... Like pictures of sceneries etc. non animate objects. Should I allow her to follow other women who are on instagram who also have the same interest. She also loves anything to do with Turkey and follows the news on Turkey and also on instagram. I am not happy with all this. Please enlighten me if its ok for her to be on instagram groups which have only women and if not, please advice me how to discourage her and the harms as well.

Answer

It is not at all advisable to be in these types of groups. You do not know what goals and objectives they have, their style of thinking, and who their allegiance lies with. How can she just join a group.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Is using social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
