The ruling on going to markets that contain fitnah (trial, discord or temptation)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: You know, Honorable Shaykh, what happens in the markets in terms of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Is it permissible for me to go to the markets with my family, even though I fear fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for myself?

Answer:
It is not permissible. If there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), do not go to the markets that have fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). There are markets that do not have fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and there are markets that do not have fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), praise be to Allah. You may go to them and get your needs. If the situation requires that your wife goes with you to these pure markets, there is no harm. As for the markets that have fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), do not go to them, and do not let your wife go to them either. Yes.

May Allah reward you
