Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some historians mention that the ship of Noah came to rest on Mount Judi in Turkey. Is it prescribed for us to visit this mountain for the sake of admonition and lesson, as Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Qamar 54:15]
Answer:
That it rested on Judi is in the Qur'an: "And it settled on al-Judi." Al-Judi is a known mountain in Mosul, in Iraq. So al-Judi exists, but the ship does not exist; the ship perished, but its type remained, and the craft that Allah taught Noah (peace be upon him) remained. As for visiting, it is not prescribed to go, nor is it prescribed to travel for the sake of seeing al-Judi; this is not prescribed. Yes.

And We left it as a sign, so is there any who will remember?
