What is the ruling on displaying pictures from cartoon films (anime) in which the 'awrah (parts of the body that must be covered) of women are depicted, and is it permissible to show the 'awrah of young girls in these pictures? If that is permissible, then what is the age at which a girl is considered young?

The gaze must be lowered from a girl's hair and arms if she is typically desired and there is a fear of temptation through her. The age assessment for this varies with different countries and times, and many jurists consider it Haram for those over seven. As for cartoon images, there is no difference between them and other images; therefore, one must avoid those depicting animals, especially if they are images of girls.
