Is it better to abandon the field of writing purposeful poetry and achieving fame, or to continue in it, given the fear of falling into disobedience or what displeases Allah upon becoming famous?
Writing poetry and purposeful stories is permissible for a woman, as long as it does not include anything forbidden. Seeking fame through it is blameworthy. It is not permissible for a woman to publish her pictures or to be photographed with anyone, because that is a means to fitna (temptation/strife). Reciting poetry or anything else in front of men is permissible if it is from behind a hijab, and a woman's voice is not awrah (nakedness that must be covered), but it is better to avoid that.
