Is publishing answers to religious questions on Facebook considered a sin if the page contains explicit sexual questions that could lead to fitna or disobedience for readers?
Every person is held accountable for what they earn, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. So, if someone publishes something permissible, and another person reads it incorrectly or uses it in a blameworthy way, each of them will receive recompense according to their intention and action. This holds true even for the Noble Qur'an; some people of desires read Surat Yusuf for an evil purpose, and the fault lies with the reader's intention, not with the Surah itself. This is why Ibn Taymiyyah said: "Among men and women are those who love to hear this Surah because it mentions love and what relates to it, due to their love for that and their desire for indecency." We clarify the jurisprudential ruling for those who ask about these matters, while observing brevity, refining language, and ensuring the question does not appear on the main page. As for questions that appear in a side list, they are the most viewed and appear automatically, changing according to people's interests.
