Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to visit what is called the body of the so-called Pharaoh in Egypt, and other bodies with him in that place, for the sake of viewing and taking a lesson?
Answer:
This is propaganda; they want money from you. Who can prove that these are the bones of Pharaoh? They even said that the bones contain fat and oil, which is evidence that they are recent bones, just placed there. These are deceptions; they want to exploit people. Yes.
