Is helping my friend publish her drawings of animate beings considered a sin of aiding in something forbidden?
It is impermissible to draw animate beings unless out of necessity. Anything other than that is permissible. If a person admires a piece of content or news, this leads to their friends viewing and spreading it. Therefore, it is forbidden to aid in its dissemination, as it involves assisting in sin and transgression, due to the Almighty’s saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." And because of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever calls to misguidance will bear a sin equivalent to the sins of those who follow him."
