Many women — many of our sisters and our daughters — decorate the food not for the sake of their husbands, children, and family, but in order to take a picture of it.
It’s very important to discuss this. Some women, Allah bless them, pay a lot of attention to decorating the food they cook. They sit for hours on end, “engineering” a cucumber or a tomato, and it is all done so that people will see it. But she never does this for her husband and children.
If it wasn’t for all those apps — Snapchat and others — she wouldn’t have done this.
Unfortunately — and this is a fact — many people were afflicted with envy because of this. By Allah, I have encountered cases of cancer caused directly by pictures posted on social media accounts. By Allah, I saw this with my own eyes. Children got cancer because of pictures circulated [online].
A picture might transmit sorcery. The proof is that if I took your picture, and applied sorcery to it, you will be afflicted accordingly.
So why do we find it difficult to believe that a sorcerer might take your picture from a social media account, print it, and cast sorcery upon it?
