The answer

Social media platforms are a double-edged sword. If a person is righteous and pious, and believes they can positively influence others, then there is no harm in opening an account and using it to invite to good, while being extremely cautious not to fall into forbidden acts. As for someone who fears temptation for themselves, they should avoid it. It is also important to avoid the artificiality of addressing the opposite gender through these platforms and to focus on inviting members of one's own gender.
