The answer

A woman's posting of the clothes, perfumes, and cosmetics she uses on social media is a serious matter if accessible to both men and women. This is because it indicates her hidden adornment to men, and leads to "likes" and tracking of her posts, which opens a door to evil, destabilizes her emotional well-being, and affects her faith, psychological, and social tranquility. A woman has been commanded to observe modesty, wear the hijab, and conceal her adornment. Allah Almighty says: ﴿And not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment.﴾ [An-Nur: 31]. Furthermore, blocking the means [to evil] is obligatory unless it is opposed by a preponderant benefit.
