Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on going to parks where there is free mixing of men and women, including Muslim or non-Muslim women, who may not be observing the hijab? Is it permissible for a person to go to such a park with his family?
Answer:
No, these are wrongdoings, and it is not permissible to go there except for one who reforms, forbids evil, and clarifies things for the people by advising them. As for going and sitting among these wrongdoings without forbidding evil, it is not permissible for him to do so.
