It is forbidden to publish pictures of a woman who displays her adornments (mutabarrijah), or of a woman wearing a if she lifts it. You have done well by requesting the deletion of the pictures. There is no sin upon you for the picture spreading by mistake, for Allah Almighty says: "And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred, but [only for] what your hearts intended." There is no expiation upon you. What is obligatory is to be cautious about photography and to beware of non- men seeing the pictures. Any act of obedience you perform is a good deed that draws you closer to Allah.
