Ruling on Visiting the West Bank

The questioner : What is the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding someone who wants to go to the West Bank for a visit?

The Shaykh : If he is not exposed to any violation of the Shari'ah, if he is not exposed to any violation of the Shari'ah, it is permissible.

The questioner : Regarding the legal ruling.

The Shaykh : What do you know? I have not been to those lands.

The questioner : No, there is no custom among her relatives, and her husband is with her, meaning she has a mahram (a relative one may not marry) with her.

The Shaykh : Did you understand the answer? Yes.

The questioner : If there is a sin against Allah, she does not go.

The Shaykh : It is not permissible.

The questioner : So for me, it means it is not a sin.

The Shaykh : What am I exposed to?

The questioner : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : And may He bless you.

The questioner : We have made you happy.

The Shaykh : You are welcome.

The questioner : The second question, is the chain of narration not permissible?

The Shaykh : Tomorrow, if Allah wills. Welcome. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
