Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Ar-Rum 30:9], is there evidence for traveling to the land of Thamud and others to look at them and take a lesson from them?
Answer:
This is as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Entering them for the sake of taking a lesson, being admonished, feeling fear, awe, and weeping is permissible. However, entering them to admire their civilization and praise them for their strength and precedence is not permissible. Yes.
