Restraining a person who travels to squander his wealth in sins

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory to restrain a person who goes to certain countries to disobey Allah by drinking intoxicants and consorting with prostitutes?

Answer:
Yes, if he squanders his wealth through corruption, then the one in authority restrains him. It is prohibited for anyone to travel except under conditions and regulations; this is prohibited by the Shari'ah, that anyone travel except under conditions and regulations. As for traveling for the sake of corruption, squandering wealth, and what is called "summer marriages," where he marries at night and spends every night with a different woman, squandering his wealth, this is a wasteful and corrupt person, and he is subject to this. He must be prevented and restrained. Yes.
