I am going to start an online website in which users can post anything which is happened in their surroundings. Users are allowed to post 1 picture and a text. Please let me know whether this is a halaal or haram? What I need to take care?

Answer would be helpful for me to avoid my confusion if Allah wills.

    Could you please redefine the last sentence, "Answer would be avoid my confusion if allah wills.". I can't tell what you are trying to say here. – Bleeding Fingers Dec 11 '13 at 5:28

    Since the scope of this question is too broad therefore I would answer the question in more or less the same generic manner as I did here. You can ask multiple specific question about things you feel doubtful about though. – Bleeding Fingers Dec 11 '13 at 6:05
  • Am i responsible for the any user who posts which is haram? i will try by best but sometime if it happens am i responsible? – shianra Dec 11 '13 at 6:09
  • I'd consider going to a local Mufti. I am not sure posting or even taking pictures is allowed in Islam. If that's the case, then taking your case to a Mufti would be helpful instead of getting contradicting answers here. – Noah Dec 11 '13 at 6:44

The best practice of running this type of website are

  • There must be a EULA which have terms about what users can post and what not, here you can disallow posting haram, anti-Islam, anti-social things.

  • No post should be published without review by the moderator/s.

  • There must be an option of flagging the posts by visitors. So that site admin can review the posts.

If you take all these or more steps honestly to monitor/screen the content of your website. Then there is no harm in running this type of website.
