I have hundreds of friends on Facebook. I also follow a lot of Islamic pages and I have joined many Islamic groups. They usually share good posts ( for worldly benefits and for the benefits of hereafter). If I give likes (pressing like button) on the good posts, will I get Sawab (benefits for hereafter)?

I recently suggested 2 my cousin that her profile pic on WhatsApp was a bit too attractive. I’ve been dropping hints on improving on religion also for some time now. She blocked me in response. Similarly, when I advised my sis-in-law not to go in for the birth control operation, she said she knows it’s haraam but she did it. How best to deal with such relatives who knowingly sin?

I wouldn’t recommend you talking as there are a lot of sick people who would be tempted by your voice especially as you will be explaining all the time and may be cracking a joke or two.
