Summary
The parents whose aurah is exposed in the photos do not bear the sin. The sin falls on the person who spreads the photos. The fatwa advises removing such photos from social media and keeping them only among mahram family members.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mereka tidak berdosa, sebaliknya orang yang menyebarkan gambar aurat ibu bapa itulah yang berdosa.
