Is the owner of the website sinful for posting pictures of women showing the face, hair, and some of the body, despite her attempt to cover the exposed parts, knowing that the website is directed at women?

A man is not permitted to look at a woman's face or hair in pictures, due to the general command to lower the gaze and the prohibition for a man to look at a non-mahram woman. This is to prevent temptation. Furthermore, depicting animate beings is not permissible except out of necessity, and drawing by hand is considered unlawful by the majority of scholars. Therefore, it is not permissible to place such images on the website.
