Using messaging apps which contain faces in the profile

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2019-02-06 07:52

Q: There is an app I use to communicate with my cousins in another country called Hangouts and it has this square face in the profile every time a person sees a message or sends one. Can I send a message or not as I will be assisting in sin by making them see the square face?

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2018-10-25 06:56

Q: As this is the era of social media and most of us are involved in it, my question is:

If I share a post on social media which is uploaded by someone else, and the post contains pictures or videos of non-mahrams, and some people viewed that post because of my sharing, what implication is there for me in Allah Ta'ala's court?

Forwarding a video on conversion to Christianity

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2018-10-13 07:12

Q: I came across a video on facebook in which a Hindu woman was converting to Christianity. It was a ritual, some words were exchanged between the priest and the woman and then he baptised her. I forwarded this clip to many people in my contact list with no intention to inspire anyone to convert to Christianity (ma'aaz Allah) nor did I intend to promote Christianity, it was purely out of curiosity and sharing knowledge. What does Quran and Hadith say about this?
