Is it permissible to travel for tourism provided that one does not fall into forbidden acts?
It is incumbent upon a Muslim to prepare for being held accountable by Allah on the Day of Resurrection concerning his lifespan, knowledge, wealth, and body. Tourism in its current form often includes -based concerns such as wasting money, energy, and time, and exposure to forbidden acts. Scholars have stipulated the prohibition of travel to a place where forbidden acts are witnessed, and one cannot change them, or fears falling into them, except out of necessity. The best and most beneficial is to undertake da'wah trips with students of knowledge to teach people and help the needy, for in doing so there is great reward and the realization of permissible enjoyment.
