The answer

The answer to the question is: There is no religious impediment to girls following men on social media, as long as there is no forbidden interaction, unnecessary communication, or fear of temptation. As for Instagram, which is a photo-sharing platform, the ruling on a woman adding men on it involves another issue: the ruling on a woman looking at men. Scholars have advised against adding men on Instagram and other social media platforms, except in cases of a religious or worldly benefit.
