Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to visit historical sites for the sake of taking a lesson and being admonished?
Answer:
Do not visit them and do not go to them, but if they are on your way and you pass by them, there is nothing wrong with looking at them to take a lesson and be admonished. As for making them your specific destination and traveling to them, that is not permissible. One does not travel except to three mosques.
