The Ruling On Putting Personal Pictures In Social Networks [like Facebook, Twitter, 2go, whatsapp and etc] Question: This questioner asks on the ruling of putting personal pictures as a member on websites especially on Facebook and Twitter? Shaykh ´Ubayd bin ´Abdillâh al-Jâbirî : I say that the pictures of souls are haram and it is from the kabaa’ir (the major sins). The Messenger, [salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam], said: “The people who will be most severely punished on the Day of Judgement will be the image-makers.” And he, [salla Allaahu alayhi wa sallam], also stated that the image maker will be presented with an image and it will say ‘Blow a spirit therein, which he will not be able to do’ . And from this we know that it is not permissible to publish pictures (images) of people in Twitter or other networks . When the agency responsible (for the networks) request a picture for a specific matter such as licences (for traffic) and security (passports etc) and other authority bodies that employs a person, then it becomes necessary or in need of. And it cannot exceed further than this. Source: ar.miraath.net/fatwah/4378...
