Does seeing scandalous and nude images while working in social media networking diminish the reward for fasting in Ramadan, and is this work unlawful (haram)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The forbidden gaze is what diminishes the reward of fasting, whereas a gaze permitted by necessity does not diminish it.
