What is the Islamic ruling on visiting "Walt Disney World," and what should be done regarding the amount the wife paid for this trip before marriage?
The ruling on a woman going to entertainment venues varies. If it does not involve seeing or hearing something forbidden (), or being in seclusion () or mixing with non- men, or traveling without a mahram, and she is dressed in her and modest attire, then it is permissible (). However, if any of these conditions are violated, then it is forbidden (haram).
Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked about going to children's amusement parks and he replied that if a person is able to remove the reprehensible acts, then it is obligatory for him to attend. But if he is unable to do so, then it is forbidden for him. He added that it is preferable to take children to the open countryside instead of these places where there is mixing and reprehensible acts.
If a wife commits a forbidden act, she must repent and not return to it. If the trip has not yet taken place, it is not permissible to allow her to go to a place where reprehensible acts are widespread, such as "Disney World."
The husband should help his family in fearing Allah and in knowing what is lawful and unlawful.
