Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on going to the lands of the punished people for the sake of taking a lesson and reflecting?
Answer:
Traveling to them with the specific intention of visiting them is not permissible. However, if one passes through them without intending to stop, while traveling to Sham or somewhere else on his way, there is nothing wrong with that. But if he intends to visit them and goes to them, that is not permissible.
The presenter:
Yes.
