Woman posting pictures of herself on social media platforms
Q: Is it allowed for a married Muslim woman to wear makeup and post her pictures on social media platforms like imo, WhatsApp, Facebook and telegram without the consent of her husband? If not what is the Islamic ruling for a wife who constantly do such things by violating the command of her husband despite telling her several times to refrain from posting her photo on social media?
Please I need your advice on this matter. What should I do? I have been telling my wife several times not to post her photo as it is against the sharia of Islam, however after I convinced her, she takes my advice for time being and agrees not to do it again, but after some time she continued to do it again and again.
Receiving a gift of clothing which has a dinosaur picture printed all over it
Q: My son received a gift of clothing which has a dinosaur picture printed all over it. It was a black shadow picture without features.
Since we don't even know if dinosaurs were real, can he wear it or is it moorath?
If it is moorath, can I sell it and keep the money to use or should I just give it away?
