Publishing a Picture of a Veiled Woman on Websites

Question
Is it permissible for a woman to publish her picture on social media even if she is wearing Islamic attire?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked for a woman to publish her image without necessity; because she is a source of desire and temptation, and this is more protective of her own self, honor, and reputation, and it preserves the chastity of society. And God knows best.
