The Ruling on Traveling to View Islamic Historical Sites
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say: To view Islamic historical sites, is this considered tourism?
Answer:
If a person has knowledge and insight in the lands of the Muslims, or in lands where he is able to manifest his religion and call people to Allah, then there is nothing wrong with it; because the intended purpose is to draw lessons, take heed, and remember, not to seek amusement, pleasure, and moving from one place to another to eat, drink, and laugh.
