Question
Is it permissible for muslim woman to have a YouTube channel? The term they use is „influencer‟ where they basically show what they do daily in their lives, what they cook and eat; what they wear what make-up and jewellery they wear. At times how they clean their homes. Sometimes the husband and kids are in these videos. They even show when they go Umrah or Haj or for vacation. Is this income halaal? The other option is having a YouTube channel where you don't show your face, just from the back. Clad in a abaya and scarf and you just hear the voice. Would this be an halaal source of income? The last one is showing only hands in gloves and maybe designing something to teach people, and no audio. Would this be a permissible source of income?
Answer
All the options of these shaitaani media are haraam. It is haraam for even men to have Youtube and similar other channels. These are all shaitaani channels. Videos are haraam. All forms of these evil channels are haraam. All of these vile channels are gheebat and riya channels. Never participate in flagrant haraam. The income is likewise haraam.
