What is the ruling on staying in a hotel where intoxicants are not seen, but there is music, musical instruments, and halls for weddings and birthday celebrations, and is traveling to it for a doctor's appointment considered a sin that prevents obtaining a travel permit?

Music and musical instruments are objectionable things that must be rejected by the heart, and this includes hating the objectionable and shunning those who engage in it. When traveling for recreation, one must choose hotels that are free from objectionable things. If only hotels with objectionable things are available, then it is permissible to stay in them provided that one avoids the places where the objectionable things occur, so that they are neither seen nor heard, similar to attending banquets where objectionable things are present, if the objectionable is neither seen nor heard. Piety dictates refraining from staying even if one does not see or hear the objectionable.

However, in cases of necessity or need, such as visiting a doctor, it is permissible to stay in these hotels while avoiding the places of objectionable things as much as possible; because witnessing objectionable things that are forbidden is for no need. A journey of sin that prevents concessions (in religious rulings) is one where sin is the purpose of the journey. As for one who travels for a legitimate purpose and commits a transient sin, they are granted concessions.
