It is not permissible for a woman to post her picture wearing a niqab on Facebook if her eyes appear in a way that causes temptation or beauty that attracts attention, or if the posture of the picture is eye-catching. Some scholars have explicitly stated the impermissibility of looking at a woman wearing a niqab if her eyes and their surroundings show temptation.
