The Dangers of Traveling to Permissive Countries and the Obligation of Caution in That
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The questioner asks and says: In some societies, corruption is widespread, and wherever a person turns, his eyes fall upon what is forbidden. What is the way to avoid these looks? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The way is to refrain from traveling to these countries where moral corruption is prevalent and morals are lost. A person should not travel to them except out of dire necessity and a pressing need that cannot be avoided, while holding fast to his religion and displaying his religion, and avoiding places of evil and places of trial, and guarding against these errors. Traveling to permissive countries is a great error and a great evil.
It is not permissible to travel to these countries except with conditions and precautions. The Muslim must preserve his religion, his honor, and his dignity. He must not expose himself, his religion, and his honor to danger.
Traveling to these countries is a matter of blind following or of giving the soul its desires and wishes, without regard for matters of religion, matters of honor, and matters of dignity?
