Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
If the image is not provocative, there is no objection to looking at it, as there is no prohibition on viewing images of foreign women or men as long as the image is not sexually suggestive.

Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is permissible if the image is not provocative and the identity of the person in the image is unknown, even if the viewer is a man and knows that it belongs to a woman or vice versa.
