The question

Is there any basis in the Sunnah or the Qur'an for what has been said about holding accountable those who cast their gaze upon forbidden things and frequent pornographic websites, and that they will be gathered in the Fire on the Day of Judgment along with those they looked at, unless they have good deeds or the Qur'an intercedes for them?

The answer

Women who publish their photos online have no right to demand anything from those who look at them. On the contrary, they are the cause of temptation for people and bear the burdens of those who are tempted by them, in fulfillment of Allah Almighty's saying: "That they may bear their own burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and some of the burdens of those whom they misguide without knowledge. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear." And the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever introduces a bad practice in Islam will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it after him, without any decrease in their own burdens."
