What is the ruling on setting up camps on the seashore in order to apply the hadith: (Teach your children swimming)?

The questioner : What is the ruling, I mean, on camping? I mean, there are groups, some Islamic groups that go camping on the beaches, I mean, they go to the seashore and stay there for days. I mean, what is the ruling on this group according to the Shari'ah?

The Shaykh : From which aspect is your question? From which aspect?

The questioner : I mean, the ruling on it according to the Shari'ah. There are Islamic groups that set up camps on the seashore, I mean, what is the ruling on these camps according to the Shari'ah?

The Shaykh : My brother, why do they go there? For a picnic, for relaxation, for recreation, for da'wah? This question is not sufficient; it must be clarified.

The questioner : There is a group that says they are for worship, I mean. Is this place for worship, even if there are many hadiths and sermons every day? And is it permissible according to the Shari'ah, even if it is for worship?

The Shaykh : Do they go to the coast for worship?

The questioner : They believe that.

The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, my brother, I asked you why they go out? What do they do there?

The questioner : They go to the shore to apply the hadith, and knowledge and its advice, whether it is authentic or weak, so knowledge belongs to Allah. They take it from the hadith which says: among three things, one of which is swimming, as an example of this hadith or saying, and knowledge belongs to Allah regarding its authenticity. So they go to the shores and learn swimming, among other things, for the sake of Allah, I mean. So is this place... permissible according to the Shari'ah?

The Shaykh : If they adhere to the rulings of the Shari'ah and they are staying there with the intention of teaching their children swimming, then this is a prescribed matter with no disagreement on it. But I feel and sense that there is something behind your question that you are not expressing. Therefore, I tell you, postpone this question. Write it down on a piece of paper calmly and slowly so that you can comprehend it and gather your thoughts on it; because the question is very strange. People go to the coasts, and people go to the mountains, and so on. All of this is permissible according to the Shari'ah. But we should know what their objectives are? What are their goals? So write down your question and present it to me later. And if you have the third question, here it is.
