The ruling on traveling to one's country by sea
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is a person prevented from traveling to his country by sea if that is his own desire?
Answer:
Nothing prevents it, but if it is possible, if it is possible to travel by a route other than the sea, that is better. Otherwise, nothing prevents it. Praise be to Allah, today, traveling by sea via modern ships has become safer than riding the light vessels that used to sail on the wind and were exposed to capsizing. The ships are like fixed mountains, meaning they are safer than sailing vessels. So traveling by sea is easy now, but whatever the case, if a route other than the sea is found, it is better.

May Allah grant you success,
