What is the ruling on topics that ask users to register their presence with a picture, information, or advice? And does the ruling on topics like "Register your presence by sending blessings upon the Prophet, may God's prayers and peace be upon him" apply to them?
It was previously stated that confirming attendance by dhikr and salawat upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is not definitively prohibited, but it is preferable to avoid it. As for confirming attendance with a view, a picture, information, or advice, the matter is broad, and its permissibility appears evident under certain conditions. These include: the picture being free of women or drawings of living beings, the view being free of tourist places that contain prohibitions or encourage travel to lands of disbelievers, the information being documented from its original sources while avoiding distorted verses and weak or fabricated hadiths, and the advice being aimed at improving character, encouraging obedience, or forbidding disobedience. These matters are permissible, recommended, or obligatory, and are considered means of educating and advising people.
