The question

Is it obligatory to advise a woman who displays herself immodestly (mutabarrijah) and publishes pictures of other immodestly dressed women (mutabarrijat) to delete these pictures? And is direct denouncement (inkar) obligatory for a woman who has learned the Sharia ruling but still keeps objectionable pictures, especially if she is of an age akin to one's mother, or is it sufficient to offer general advice in writing?

The answer

If the account is predominantly used for spreading evil, then liking it or praising it is a form of assisting in evil. The woman who spreads evil should be advised with wisdom and gentleness at the appropriate time, taking into consideration her acceptance of the advice, and prioritizing the more significant evils if it is difficult to address them all, while avoiding public admonition. As for the woman who has been informed of the ruling, the obligation to remind her does not cease, as it is a form of enjoining good and forbidding evil, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers."
