If the internet is used to spread good, such as for Da‘wah (inviting to Islam) and education, it becomes a great blessing. For whoever calls to guidance will have a reward like the rewards of those who follow him. As for merely accepting a friendship request on the internet, it is not considered unlawful mixing, but it must be for a Da‘wah or educational purpose, while adhering to the -compliant guidelines, such as not publishing anything inappropriate or that incites discord, and avoiding private messages and chats with women, as this is a great door to Fitnah (temptation/strife).
