Is it permissible to post Islamic images in pornographic hashtags with the aim of combating pornographic content, given the objections that this places the name of Allah and His verses in an inappropriate context, even though the goal is guidance and positive responses have occurred?

Publishing Islamic texts on unsavory websites with the aim of combating pornography involves a conflict between exposing these texts to desecration and striving to guide sinners. Islamic law prioritizes achieving the greater of two benefits and warding off the greater of two harms. Therefore, if there is hope that these texts will reduce the number of visitors to those sites, their publication is permissible. Otherwise, it is better to avoid them.
