Question:
What is the meaning of "Do not travel except to three mosques"?
Answer:
It means that one does not travel for the sake of worship in a specific place except to three mosques: the Sacred Mosque, the Prophet's Mosque, and al-Aqsa Mosque. One travels to them for worship, to pray in them; this is what is meant by "do not travel." As for traveling for recreation, or traveling for trade, or traveling to visit relatives and kin, there is nothing wrong with that. The travel that is for worship is only for these three mosques.
