The answer

The internet is a vast world encompassing various inclinations and orientations. Interacting with it requires caution and adherence to limits of necessity, to avoid unpleasant surprises from hackers. It is important to avoid anything strange and unknown in this world, for it is a sign of a person's good Islam that he leaves what does not concern him. Any strange name should be deleted at first glance, and strangers should not be allowed to chat or add. To get rid of any sinful aggressor, the old address must be canceled, and female friends must be warned against any strange message or newly added name. A stolen picture does not pose a real danger unless the aggressor knows personal information, and it should be a lesson for women who are lax about photography. The solution is to forget the problem, cut off every means that reminds of it, and delete every message from a strange person. Salvation is achieved by holding one's tongue, staying at home, and weeping over one's sin.
