Ruling on traveling to lands of disbelief and sin for the sake of trade
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Young men are traveling from France to one of the lands where there is sin for the purpose of trade, so what is the ruling on that?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 2645, so it is not permissible to travel to the lands of the polytheists. However, if a person is in a land where he knows his religion, and he has knowledge and insight, and he displays his religion, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if he is an ordinary person, it is not permissible for him to travel to the lands of the polytheists, nor to reside among them. Rather, he must migrate to a land where he is safe for his religion, and he should not go to trade in the lands of the polytheists, but should trade in the lands of the Muslims.
Q: Meaning: he is prohibited?
A: Yes, he is prohibited, unless he has knowledge, in which case he calls to Allah and teaches the people.
