Is it permissible to visit websites that display advertisements for which "impressions" are recorded, and money is paid to the website owners for these impressions, especially if these websites contain anti-Islamic content, knowing that visiting them may contribute to supporting these websites and increasing their visitors, and is this considered a general affliction (umum al-balwa) that permits visiting them out of necessity?
