The questioner : In the name of Allah.
Here, O Shaykh, some young people go to the desert in large groups and climb the high sand dunes, which causes damage to the cars. Is this action of theirs permissible, and is it permissible for the one who watches them, or does he commit a sin?
The Shaykh : First: watching is based on the act itself; is it permissible or not? We say: young people going out to the desert in this manner may lead to harms, among which is their abandoning [of their duties].
