Going
to beaches where there is nakedness and free-mixing
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
People go to Alexandria in Egypt to spend the summer there.
On the beaches there are thousands of women who are literally
naked, and where men mix freely with women. I am a bearded
man, so is it permissible for me to go there and sit by the
sea, or not?
Response:
If the situation is as described, then it is not permissible
for a Muslim to go to these places/gatherings, for fear of
fitnah
and so as to avoid such places; (this is) unless he is of
those who have the power/authority to remove the evil that
is there. (This is) because (such people) they have the authority
and the knowledge of Sharee'ah,
and the ability to enjoin what is good and forbid what is
evil.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
