Ruling on keeping video tapes with pictures of little girls who have now grown up

Firstly: 

We have previously explained that it is haraam to keep
photographs for the sake of memories, and we have quoted the prohibition on
that from the scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas and
Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him). 

For more information on these fatwas, please see the answer
to questions no. 10668,
99745,
109232, and
138725. 

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas are
of the view that video images come under the same rulings as photographic
images, so it is not permissible to make these images or keep the video
unless there is a need to do so. They were asked: 

Does the making of images using a video camera come under the
same rulings as making photographic images? 

They replied: 

Yes, the ruling on making video images is the same as the
ruling on making photographic images. It is not allowed and is haraam
because of the general meaning of the evidence. End quote. 

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzaaq
‘Afeefi, Shaykh ‘Abd-Allah ibn Ghadyaan, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh
‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal al-Shaykh, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd 

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah,
vol. 2, 1/288 

They also said: 

It is not permissible to take pictures of animate beings,
whether by means of a video, or otherwise, because of the general meaning of
the texts which forbade image making and the sternness of the warning
concerning it, and the fact that the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah
be upon him) cursed the one who does that. End quote. 

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan,
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal al-Shaykh, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd

vol. 2, 1/307 

The prohibition on keeping these images is further confirmed
because they are images of women that may be seen by non-mahrams; usually
the woman in the picture does not want anyone to see it, and these pictures
may cause fitnah or problems for the woman in the picture. 

You said that the age of some of them was as much as nine
years old; at this stage a woman may have reached puberty or be close to it,
so it is not permissible for a non-mahram man to look at her. 

In the answer to question no.
124208 you will find an
example of problems faced by a man – so how about if it was a woman –
because of video images taken when he was small. 

And Allah knows best.
