Is it permissible to create a religious page on Facebook to publish dhikr (remembrances of God), admonitions, and interpretations of verses from tafsir (exegesis) websites, purely for the sake of Allah the Almighty? And what can a student in his early twenties do with his free time during the holidays, after performing prayers and dedicating time to memorizing the Quran, if he perceives everything he finds to be haram (forbidden)?

Opening a religious page on Facebook to disseminate knowledge and benefit people is permissible and brings reward. Care must be taken regarding the authenticity of what is published on it, to avoid spreading fabricated hadiths or innovations. This is done by publishing what is heard from trustworthy sources or what is found in accredited Islamic books. One can also benefit from the Shamela Library to verify the authenticity of information and hadiths before publishing them.
