The Ruling on Visiting the Pyramids in Egypt and Viewing Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some people go to visit the pyramids in Egypt and view them. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
If it is for the sake of taking a lesson and being admonished, and not for exalting them, praising them, or admiring them, then there is nothing wrong with it. However, leaving them is better, in case of doubt.
