The answer

Scholars have explicitly stated the prohibition of looking at and shaking hands with beardless youths (murdān) for anyone who fears temptation. Similarly, it is not permissible to look at nude images, and this ruling applies to their pictures. Furthermore, keeping any images of living beings is forbidden according to a large group of scholars.
