The answer

It is permissible to pardon and overlook personal offenses, but not those against Allah the Almighty, His religion, His Book, or His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. One who offends the religion has no right to be pardoned, because this relates to the rights and sanctities of Allah, and pardoning such an act would be pardoning violations of Allah's bounds. A Muslim must denounce evil with their hand, tongue, or heart, and ostracizing the offender is the least that can be done. The claim of not intending to offend is not acceptable when it comes to denigrating and casting doubt upon the religion. Those responsible for publishing platforms must seek accuracy, choose participants carefully, and block anyone feared to cause corruption. This non-Muslim woman needs guidance and instruction.
