Summary
A group like 'riyak apa hari ini' is regarded as normalising sin, even when done jokingly, because a good intention does not justify a wrong means. Posts that expose the awrah and improper conversations between men and women are strictly prohibited. Showing off, self-admiration and openly displaying sins are blameworthy, so such activity should be curbed to prevent other forms of normalised sin from emerging.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kewujudan group riyak apa hari ini atau yang seumpama dengannya adalah salah satu perbuatan yang dianggap sebagai normalisasi dosa.
