Fathwa, - What to do about pre-hijab photos that others have of one?

Question:
What should a sister do about photos she had taken before she was
practicing, in which she wasn't wearing a hijab. If some of these
photos are the possession of her non-mahrem family members, should she
try to get them back?
Answer:
The dictates of hijab and modesty entail that one figure out effective
means of getting these photos back from those who have them (whether
family, one�s high school, etc), to the extent genuinely possible. A
well-expressed explanation of your purpose has proven to be effective
in many similar cases, both with family and institutions.
Once one has taken all reasonable means available, then one is free of
all blame before Allah: one�s moral responsibility is only to the
extent of one�s genuine ability.
And Allah alone gives success.
