There is no objection to adding non-mahram female relatives to one's friends list on Facebook, nor to the list including someone who publishes forbidden content, provided that one denounces such content. If someone comments and their profile picture is of a woman, you bear no sin, but you must avert your gaze from the picture and delete the comment to prevent men from seeing it. You also have a duty to explain the ruling on this matter to the person who posted the comment.
