Question:
This person is also asking, saying: What is the ruling on going to places of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and going to those who circumambulate graves, just for the sake of seeing and observing?
Answer:
Without denouncing it, this is not permissible. You look, you look at them. You are safe from yourself being affected by them. So do not go just to look. You go in order to denounce them. You call them to Allah. You clarify this to them. Good. Yes.
