The answer

It is not permissible for a Muslim to go to a place where there is an evil unless there is an overriding benefit, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, due to the Almighty's saying: "And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation." One of the levels of denouncing evil is to abandon the place where it is found. Furthermore, a Muslim cannot feel safe from God's punishment descending upon that place, thus perishing with the perishing, as in the Hadith of Zaynab bint Jahsh, may God be pleased with her, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Will we be destroyed while there are righteous people among us?! He said: Yes, if wickedness becomes widespread."
