Is it permissible to watch old video clips showing images of girls (5-9 years old) who are now adults and married or in university?
It has been previously explained that it is forbidden to keep photographic images for remembrance, and this prohibition applies to video images. It is not permissible to photograph them or keep them except out of necessity. The prohibition against keeping such images is more emphatic if they are images of women, especially if they have reached puberty or are close to it, for fear that non-mahrams may see them and the strife and problems that may result from that.
