The Ruling on Going to Syria
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on going to Syria, and is that part of the travelers' (rahilah) activities?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. A person should praise Allah for being safe from trials (fitan). These are trials, so a person should not enter into them and should stay away from them. However, he should make du'a (supplication) for the Muslims, making du'a for their victory and relief, and he should increase his du'a. As for him going, this is not permissible. First, because he has a family, parents, and a household. Second, permission from the one in authority (wali al-amr) is required. So two things are necessary: permission from the one in authority and permission from the father. This is a trial (fitnah) from which a person should stay away. Yes.
