Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
A - It is permissible for a woman to look at the body of a prepubescent boy, even if he is distinguishable, provided that the gaze does not provoke lust. However, it is obligatory to avoid looking at the boy's private parts if he is distinguishable.
B - It is permissible for a man to look at the body of a prepubescent girl as long as his gaze is not intended for pleasure. If it is, then it is forbidden. It is also obligatory to avoid looking at the private parts of a distinguishable girl. Additionally, it is obligatory to avoid kissing or holding her in his lap if she has reached six years of age.
