When is it permissible to visit the pyramids and antiquities?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, in a fatwa of yours that it is not permissible to visit the pyramids and antiquities for the sake of admiration.

Answer:
Yes, indeed. Does he visit them for the sake of admiration? No, does he visit them for the sake of taking a lesson and being admonished? Yes, this is prescribed. He takes a lesson and is admonished; this is what is required. As for visiting them for the sake of admiration and praise, praising those who built them, and saying that it is a civilization and that it is... this is not permissible, yes.
