The answer

The fundamental principle concerning things is permissibility unless there is evidence to prove their prohibition. This is a manifestation of Islam's ease. If a Muslim understands this rule, it suffices him from needing to ask about every new matter. The original ruling is the permissibility of using Instagram and other social media sites for both men and women, as long as there is no Shariah-prohibited element in its use, such as impermissible communication between genders, or publishing forbidden images, or looking at them.
