Does one who rejected indecency, to which he was invited via chat, fall under the Hadith of the seven whom Allah will shade with His shade?
It is not permissible for unrelated men and women to communicate privately, due to the temptation and falling into prohibitions that may result from it. The has blocked all paths leading to temptation. Among the seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the Day of Resurrection is "a man who was invited by a woman of high status and beauty, but he said: 'Indeed, I fear Allah.'" This includes an invitation to fornication or anything that leads to it, and this extends to invitations via social media if they lead to a direct meeting, or if the action itself occurs on the social media platform. Whoever abstains from indecency and abandons their desires will receive a great reward, and it is hoped that everyone who refrains from impermissible communication will attain a share of Allah's shade on the Day of Resurrection.
