Peace be upon you,
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
Due to the potential for harm and the fear of falling into what is forbidden, it is generally not permissible.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is permissible in itself, but we advise young believers to cover what should be covered, except for the head, hands, and feet, and similar areas.
