The Ruling on Traveling to the Lands of Disbelievers for Tourism

Question:
He says: I am a young man, and I am inclined to travel to four countries for the sake of tourism.

Answer:
It is not permissible to travel to the lands of the disbelievers for the sake of tourism. It is not permissible to travel to the lands of the disbelievers except in cases of dire necessity that are exempted: traveling for treatment, traveling for trade, or traveling to study something that is not available here, so he goes to study it there. In all cases, he must be outwardly upright in his religion, steadfast in his religion, avoiding the places of corruption and the places of evil, holding fast to his religion and clinging to his religion.
And he must not reside in the lands of the disbelievers except for the duration of the dire necessity and pressing need only, then he returns. The one who goes for a leisure trip, this is forbidden; it is a forbidden journey. It is not permissible for him to shorten the prayer, and it is not permissible for him to break the fast in Ramadan, because it is a journey with him.
