Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to travel to a land of shirk for leisure?
Answer:
It is not permissible to travel to a land of shirk except under certain conditions. First, there must be a need for the travel, either for a treatment that is not available in the lands of the Muslims, or for trade where he imports goods from the lands of disbelief and purchases merchandise from there, or for calling to Allah the Exalted, or to learn knowledge that is not found except with them and we are in need of it. These matters make the travel permissible, provided one holds fast to the religion, holds fast to the religion, and stays away from what undermines the religion and what undermines one’s honor. Yes.
