Is clicking "Like" on a music video on YouTube considered aiding in sin and sharing the singer's burden? And is the repentance of one who aided in sin accepted if that person has not stopped committing the sin himself? And does one who aids in sin fall under the Hadith, "Whoever called to misguidance..."? And what is the ruling on one who supported a famous person with virtual gifts in a live broadcast containing unlawful things, then repented but continued to watch? And does the repentance of a smoker who introduced a friend to smoking necessitate that he himself stop smoking?

If the act of liking a prohibited video is not a prohibited form of assistance, but rather prohibited in itself, then whoever repents from the assistance without repenting from the sin, their repentance is valid according to the majority of scholars who consider the repentance from one sin to be valid even while persisting in another.
