Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some da'is travel to Islamic countries, either for tourism or for other reasons, and there are shrines in these countries, but they do not rebuke the people for visiting them. What is your advice regarding this?
Answer:
He should clarify tawhid (the oneness of Allah), clarify the da'wah, and clarify that this is not permissible. He should make this clear to the people. If they accept it, praise be to Allah. If they do not accept it, he has done what is required of him. As for traveling to the lands of the disbelievers for tourism, it is not permissible. But traveling for the sake of da'wah, yes, if his intention is da'wah, that is good. Yes.
