Displaying Images on Social Media
What is the ruling on photographing a hand and displaying it on WhatsApp status, whether the person doing it is the owner of the image or someone else who took the picture and posted it without the owner's knowledge?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the image is of a woman's hand, it is not permissible, whether from her or from anyone else, due to the temptation it may cause and the lack of need for it. As for the image of a man's hand, it is permissible, and God knows best.
