Bad Ads Appear when Using Instagram

Question

As Salam Alaykum, Shaikh i use Instagram only to consume Islamic content, but lately I have been getting these ads of book astrologer, consult astrologer. Can I use the platform anymore? I don’t know why they are recommending me this filth. I never had any activity related to it. Jazak Allahu Khayran

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

There is nothing wrong with you using the aforementioned application to view permissible things. Whatever of such advertisements appears, just delete them and do not pay any attention to them. It is not forbidden to use the application just because those advertisements appear.

Allah knows best.
