Is it permissible to open an art section in the forum, while adhering to Sharia guidelines, so that it does not contain indecent images? And would that be considered haram and the website owner be sinful for it, or would he only be sinful if it is used for evil?
The questioner did not specify the type of art they are asking about, but the general rule is that anything that leads to the forbidden (haram) or aids in it is forbidden, and anything in which one is safe from falling into the forbidden is permissible (mubah).
