Question

Is it permissible to give like, care, angry, love reacts on Facebook?

Answer

Pictures of all animate objects are haraam in Islam. Severe warnings have been sounded in the mubaarak Ahaadith for all those who get involved in the grave sin of photography and picture making.

If these reacts on Facebook contain Pictures of animate objects, then one should refrain from this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
