SHARING PICTURES OF THE DEAD AND INJURED
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله mentioned about giving condolences to a dead person’s family that this is something that should be immediate. If you have not met that relative for years then do not mention these words of condolences because you’re going to revive the pain.
By putting pictures of these people online this is something that will add on to misery, every time these are seen.
وَأَعِدُّوا۟ لَهُم مَّا ٱسۡتَطَعۡتُم مِّن قُوَّةࣲ
And make ready against them with all you can of strength.
[Al-Anfal, āyah 60]
Part of strength is strength of heart and being brave. Showing dead, injured and begging brothers of ours, this weakens the hearts of the Muslims.
And another note: We see that it is mainly charity organisations sharing these images and only Allāh knows where these donations are going.
If you are going to help then do so through trustworthy and reliable means.
