Is spending some money in modern amusement parks that are free from free mixing of men and women considered wastefulness?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We said, is spending some money in an amusement park, for example, a modern one that is free from free mixing of men and women, is this also considered wastefulness?
The Shaykh : The answer to the question is also from two aspects. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith: Some people narrate this hadith with the wording "forbidden," which has no basis, saying, "Every amusement in which a son of Adam amuses himself is forbidden." This wording is not correct; rather, the wording found in the books of the Sunnah is "invalid." And he mentioned the four matters that I cited earlier. Yes.
The questioner : The hadith, as I recall, is: And he mentioned the two bows and walking between the two targets?
The Shaykh : This is what you are mentioning. What do you say about what others mention?
The questioner : One who knows is an argument over one who does not know.
The Shaykh : May Allah forgive you, Abu Mus'ab. Be gentle and easy. The point is: if play is permissible in itself, then what was said earlier about mummification applies, and there is a balance between them. So, in this issue, there are two acceptable positions when detailed. But I want to draw your attention to...The questioner : WhoeverThe questioner : That is, whether the reader is...The questioner : Or whether the reader is the transmitter. I want to draw your attention to the fact that questions that are well-posed should be realistic and practical. So, in the question, it was said that if there is no free mixing of men and women, I ask: where are these amusement parks that have no free mixing of men and women?
The questioner : One person told me in Saudi Arabia that there are parks with no free mixing of men and women. We, before this, our Shaykh, there is no free mixing of men and women. There is no city without free mixing of men and women. Please, ask...The Shaykh : This question, I mean, I insist on asking you.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I cannot judge until I see it, but it is clear to them that these parks are an imitation of the lands of disbelief!
The questioner : We, our Shaykh, are like you; we have not seen them. But he...
The Shaykh : In any case, the important thing is that we have presented the answer that Allah made easy for us.
The Shaykh : The answer to the question is also from two aspects. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith:
All amusement that a son of Adam engages in is vain, except his playing with his wife, his playing with his horse, his shooting with his bow, and swimming.
كل لهو يلهو به ابن آدم باطل إلا ملاعبته لزوجه ومداعبته لفرسه ورميه بقوسه والسباحةEvery amusement in which a son of Adam amuses himself is invalid, except...
كل لهو يلهو به ابن آدم باطل إلاThe questioner : The hadith, as I recall, is:
Every matter in which there is no remembrance of Allah is amusement, except for four matters
كل شيء ليس فيه ذكر لله فهو لهو إلا أربع خصالThe Shaykh : This is what you are mentioning. What do you say about what others mention?
The questioner : One who knows is an argument over one who does not know.
