What is the ruling on traveling to Islamic countries where wrongdoings are apparent?

Question:
The questioner says: We came to Makkah to spend a few days in the House of Allah, and my brothers are with me. However, some of my brothers wish that after we return to our residences in Jeddah, they go on vacation to outside the Kingdom in some Islamic countries. It is known that those countries are rife with licentiousness and immorality, and they do not rule by what Allah has revealed. Is this travel permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible to travel to countries where wrongdoings, sins, and shirk (associating partners with Allah) are apparent. It is not permissible to travel to them for the purpose of recreation. One should stay in our country, with his family, and in his land, and praise be to Allah. Recreation is not a necessity. One can enjoy recreation in the country, enjoy recreation in the country with the Muslims here, and not go to countries that have evil, mixing, corruption, and deviation. For a person’s religion and creed are the most precious things he has, so he should not risk them for the sake of recreation.
