Should a forbidden picture of a girl be deleted and her bad deeds kept silent, or should her guardian be informed, for fear of fitna?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Spying is unlawful except in specific circumstances. It is obligatory to delete the woman's picture, and it is impermissible to keep it; the fundamental principle is to conceal her faults. If suspicious behavior is observed from her, she should be advised through a righteous woman. Otherwise, her guardian should be informed to restrain her.
