Are Women Who Post Pictures Online Causing Fitna?
I saw a post on the internet where a woman posted a photo of herself online, and then in the comments section, someone (let’s call this person X) commented that she had committed a grave sin. X said that the photo she posted on the internet could be a source of fitna, which would immediately become a grave sin. X also said that anything that could be a source of fitna must be avoided.
X then told the woman to delete her post and asked her to wear a niqab to avoid fitna. X believed that this was in accordance with Surah Al-Ahzab verse 59, where Allah asked the Prophet to tell his wives to extend their veils so they would not be disturbed.
Is X’s statement correct?
