What is the ruling on teaching the use of social media sites and publishing books and articles about them, given that there is no control over how learners use them? And would the teacher be sinful if others viewed forbidden advertisements after learning through him? And is it permissible to earn money from uploading educational books to profit-making websites? And is it permissible to place images symbolizing websites, such as Twitter, in educational books? And what is the ruling on earning from websites that encourage people to visit them and rely on advertisements, especially if these websites are Israeli or promote immorality? And what is the ruling on dealing with similar non-Israeli websites?
The ruling on teaching the use of social media platforms is a subsidiary of the ruling on using them, and the basic principle is permissibility. However, for someone known to misuse them, teaching them is impermissible, as it falls under avoiding cooperation in sin and aggression.
To absolve oneself of responsibility regarding the Shariah prohibitions contained within these platforms, such as forbidden advertisements, it is necessary to point this out and explain how to avoid them during instruction.
As for earning money by uploading files to for-profit websites and placing images in educational books, these have been answered previously.
Regarding the "Clickot" website and similar platforms, its described condition prevents uploading files to it, and the scope of the website's activity must be permissible.
