The Shaykh : We have finished with the topic of marriage.

You have previously established this for us.
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : You have established this for us.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : He says: And you, may Allah preserve you, warned against traveling to the lands of disbelief in a Friday sermon, but the trumpets of evil that enter every home call for violating the Shari'ah of Allah and violating every caller to good. This is an announcement I place before you, stating that an establishment, as they named it, called "Dar al-Iman" organizes tourism trips for both genders to America, France, and Britain, and their condition is that the traveler must be at least eighteen years old, from among business men and female university students, and those who have previously visited these countries. I leave the matter to you, O my father, for we rely on Allah, then on you, to protect us from its evil. May Allah protect you from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection?
The Shaykh : I say that these people and their like fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:41] And there is no doubt that they are sinful, and that the wealth they have acquired is forbidden and illicit, because it is based on falsehood. And there is no doubt that every moral, intellectual, doctrinal, or behavioral deviation resulting from these trips, they have a share of it, because they called for it and helped in it. They will carry burdens along with their own burdens. It is obligatory for us, and praise be to Allah, as a Muslim community, a chaste community, a community of good morals, to warn against these people. And we regret that such an announcement exists under the hearing and sight of those responsible for advertisements, which should be suppressed and not published.
But we ask Allah the Exalted to guide our rulers to put an end to such matters that corrupt faith and morals.
And there is no doubt that if the community loses its faith and its morals, that is its destruction, and its punishment will be among them, because some people are consistently opposed to these people and repel them. And parties will form within the community if such fools are allowed to publish such an evil, harmful announcement. Perhaps we will seek the help of Allah the Exalted by conveying the matter to the authorities so that they prevent this evil, which is more deadly than cancer in the body. Then they say in the announcement, "students and female students." Do these people want our female students to go to Europe and elsewhere under the name that they are students?
So we ask Allah to reward these people with His justice. We have taken refuge in this supplication. We ask Allah to reward these people with His justice, and to suppress them, and to grant them loss in their wealth so that they return to Allah Mighty and Majestic and repent to Allah from this evil announcement.
And we ask Allah the Exalted to empower the authorities against them with justice so that they deter them from this trial which they want to cause people to fall into. Yes.
