les femmes sur les réseaux sociaux
Shaykh ʿAlī Ibn Zayd Al-Madkhalī nous rappelle l’importance, pour la femme musulmane, de faire preuve de discrétion sur les réseaux sociaux, notamment en évitant d’y montrer son visage. Cette retenue vise à se protéger, à prévenir les mauvaises situations et à ne pas ouvrir des portes menant à la tentation, aux regards malsains ou aux paroles déplacées.
In today's digital age, social media platforms have become central to communication, but they also pose unique challenges, especially for women who seek to maintain their values and privacy. Reflecting on the teachings of Shaykh ʿAlī Ibn Zayd Al-Madkhalī, adopting discretion on social media serves as a crucial step towards safeguarding oneself. Based on personal experience and observation, limiting what is shared online, particularly by avoiding showing one’s face, helps reduce unwanted attention and preserves dignity. Closing private messaging options and using one's husband’s name in profiles, as recommended, can further protect against unsolicited contact and maintain boundaries. These measures may also help prevent tempting situations and the risk of falling into conversations or exchanges that could lead to discomfort or harm. For many, such guidance resonates with the desire to balance modern connectivity with spiritual and cultural values. Ultimately, discretion on social media is not about restriction but about empowerment—enabling women to engage with the world safely and respectfully while honoring their faith and personal principles.
