What is the ruling on posting pictures of artists and circulating news about them, and is the forum owner sinful for doing so?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The prohibition of images of artists is more severe, due to their lack of commitment to Islamic law. The sin increases if they are known for debauchery and immorality, because this constitutes praising them and encouraging others to imitate them, which is a form of cooperation in sin and aggression.
