What is the ruling on tourism as a source of national income, and what is the legitimacy of working in the tourism sector?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The default ruling regarding tourism is permissibility, provided it adheres to guidelines. It is incumbent upon the Muslim state to regulate tourism through laws that make it beneficial, not detrimental, to people, religion, and morals. If this is done, then the income derived from it will be lawful and good.
