Brother's Posting Their Photo's On Social Media question answer

Sheikh Usymīn Al-Khamees رحمه الله Was Asked About Brother's Posting Their Photo's On Social Media.

"Please Advise Our Religious Brother's Who Post Their Photo's on Instagram In All their Beauty; Perhaps Girl's Will also See These Photo's; These Photo's Also Awaken in Young Men Confidence In Their Own Beauty And Vanity; What Would You Say About Them?"

Sheikh Usymīn Al-Khamees رحمه الله Said:

"I Swear by ALLĀH ﷻ, We must Fear ALLĀH ﷻ, Blessed is He And Exalted, With Regard to Women.

Women Are Soft And Delicate, And This Photo Where He is Smiling and Trying to Look Handsome Will Stay in Their Memory. Just As a Man, Seeing a Beautiful Girl, Becomes Enamored By Her, a Girl, Seeing a Handsome Guy, Becomes Enamored By Him.

There's an Interesting Story That Happened with Habiba (Actually, Her Name Was Jamila) Daughter of 'Abdullah ibn Ubay Ibn Salul. Her Father Was a Hypocrite, but She was One of The Female Companion's and Wife of Sabit Ibn Qays Ibn Shams.

She Came to the Messenger of ALLĀH ﷻ Prophet Mohammad ‎ﷺ and Said: 

"I do Not Want to Be Ungrateful for ALLĀH'S ﷻ Mercy, But I Can't Live With Sabit. I Swear by ALLĀH ﷻ, I know of No Deficiency in His Religion or His Character, but I Want to Part with Him". 

He Asked: 'What did He Give You as Mahr?' 

She Replied: "A garden". 

He Asked: 'Will you Give it Back to Him?' 

She Replied: "Yes".

He Called Sabit Ibn Qays and Said: 'Take Back your Garden and Divorce Her.'

In One Version of The Ḥadīth, A Possible Reason Why She Started to Demand a Divorce is Mentioned: 

"Once She Came and Opened a Little the Fabric That Covered the Entrance to the Tent, and She Saw Sabit There, Walking With Some People. Then She Saw that He Was the Shortest and least Attractive Among them. After This, She Decided that She No Longer Wanted to Live with Him.

"We Cannot Neglect This". You Should Not Publish Your Photo's to Show Yourself Off to Everyone. This May Entice Someone Who is Love-Struck, or Who Has Problem's With their Family and is Prone to be Infatuated by Such. Therefore, We Must Fear ALLĀH ﷻ in this Situation."
