Fataawa On Attending Places Of Fitna And On Music
Q. Is it permissible for us to go to Sun City for a holiday without partaking in gambling? TV
A. It is NOT permissible to go to Sun City even though one does not gamble. The environment and evils of that place demands that we do not even think of going there. Besides gambling, many other evils are committed by going there, such as:-
Showing support for the activities taking place there merely by going there.
Wastage of money (entrance fees, petrol money, etc.).
Wastage of time.
Not prohibiting people from committing evil.
Looking at strange women.
Talking to them.
Increasing the numbers of evil-doers.
Inevitably being negligent from the remembrance of Allah Ta'aala.
Most likely missing Salaat.
If you really ponder, then you will point out many other evils too. Visiting Sun City even though one does not gamble there is like ‘visiting’ Jahannam whilst you are a resident in Jannah, would you do so? Remember, the wrath and anger of Allah Ta'aala upon evil being committed cannot be imagined, especially in a place like Sun City. Any time the punishment of Allah Ta'aala could descend. Would a Mu’min like to die in that place? A person will be resurrected in the manner he died! May Allah Ta'aala save us from an evil death and may he take us with Imaan, whilst doing good deeds. Aameen.
Q.1 What is ruling concerning music and the listening thereof?
