Does the owner of a public Instagram account bear sin if their followers access the accounts of those they follow and find therein that which is forbidden?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It does not harm you if someone enters your page and disobeys Allah by looking at followers, for the responsibility is upon them, and a person is not obligated to restrict followers. Allah Almighty says: (Rather, man will be a witness against himself), and (And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another). There is no harm in drawing that which has no soul and earning a living from it.
