Is it permissible to follow a famous woman on social media, out of fear of sin due to supporting her fame?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the woman who owns the page is known for good deeds, there is no objection to following her page. However, if she is known for immorality or for spreading content that contradicts Islamic law, then following her page ranges from being disliked (makruh) to forbidden (haram). This is because it implies showing admiration and approval of her conduct, supports her objectionable pages, exposes oneself to accusation and suspicion, and out of fear of becoming accustomed to her objectionable content. The questioner is advised to fear Allah, engage in noble matters, and keep away from trivial ones.
