Using messaging apps which contain faces in the profile
Question
There is an app I use to communicate with my cousins in another country called Hangouts and it has this square face in the profile every time a person sees a message or sends one. Can I send a message or not as I will be assisting in sin by making them see the square face?
Answer
If there is a way that you can delete this square face then delete it. Otherwise, make istighfaar.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
