Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty has made ample space in Muslim lands for travelers, whether for leisure or honeymoon purposes. Traveling to disbelieving countries that permit forbidden acts poses a great danger to the Muslim and their family. Allah Almighty has commanded us to distance ourselves from places of sin, and He has forbidden all that leads to adultery, such as mixing, ostentatious display, seclusion, and other such things. Therefore, it is not permissible to travel to such countries except out of dire necessity, provided that the person possesses knowledge and religious commitment that prevent him from falling into corruption.
