Questions:

1. Am I allowed to share a story of an Instagram influencer who posts her pregnant belly to show my disgust of her openly sinning? Does this fall under exposing someone’s sins?
2. What is your advice to a young sister who claims knowing the names of scholars, Companions and the likes is not important and what matters is knowing the basics?
3. I am new to Salafiyyah and I have a doubt. I feel every speaker is refuted and only a few are not. Can you please advise me?
