Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 3838, is it permissible to travel by sea for the sake of trade or for tourism, for example?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. And now, praise be to Allah, luxurious and safe ships are available, so there is no danger in it now, except what Allah wills. There is no repeller of the decree of Allah. But now the ships have become luxurious, like houses moving on the sea, meaning the situation has changed now. Yes.
