Asalam alaikum my question is can we put ill or sick person’s photo on our status or social media and ask people to make dua for him .jazak Allah khair

A:

Wa `alaykum as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Thank you for your good question.

I pray to Allah Almighty to heal all those who are sick, ameen.

There is nothing wrong, from an Islamic perspective, to post a photo—that meets the general Islamic value of a loved sick person, if he or she is OK with this, and ask the people to pray for his or her recovery.

May Allah accept your and our good deeds, ameen.

Allah Almighty knows best.
