What is the ruling on visiting the Cave of Hira for the purpose of viewing it?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on visiting the Cave of Hira for the purpose of looking at it and viewing it only?

Answer:
There is no need for this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go to it after the revelation. He went to it before the revelation only out of necessity to hide from the polytheists and to devote himself to worship. He did not go to it after the revelation because the necessity had ceased. So do not go to it, and there is no need for you to climb a high mountain where you may be cut off, and some people die during the ascent. There is no need for this; Allah has not obligated this upon you. Yes, and if you go, people will go with you, and they will say, "They visited so-and-so," and you will have opened the door for people. Yes.
