The Difference Between Scholars’ Travel for the Sake of Knowledge and Suspicious Dawah Tours
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: You stated (may Allah preserve you) that knowledge is to be taken from its specific, known places, such as schools and universities, and not from travel tours. Then you mentioned that the scholars used to travel to seek knowledge. How do we reconcile these two statements, as this has confused me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is a difference between the two types of travel. The scholars used to travel to seek knowledge in order to meet with scholars. As for the travel we are referring to now, these are the tours they call dawah tours or something similar, where the owners of deviant ideas take them on these journeys or tours to turn them away from the community and indoctrinate them during these journeys. This is what we mean by suspicious journeys. Yes.
