What is the ruling on creating a personal website for a foreign actor that displays his biography, news, and films, with a section dedicated to combating environmental corruption, and is it possible to avoid sin without completely rejecting the work?
The ruling on creating a website depends on the nature of its activity: if it is permissible, then it is allowed; otherwise, it is not. It appears that this website is a means to something forbidden, so it is obligatory not to work on its design. This is because it may lead to exposing Muslims to temptation by this man, and it involves a waste of time and energy. It is feared that its creator and followers may become attached to him, and "a person will be with whom he loves." The corruption of the environment can be addressed through many means, and this particular website is not essential for this purpose. The advice is to abandon work in this area and to work on what benefits Muslims and increases their attachment to their religion.
