Question
Is it permissible to go for a holiday with the family to a non-Muslim holiday resort in the mountains where it is secluded?
Answer
Holiday at a kuffaar resort is an occasion of fitnah. The resort is a mal-oon (accursed) place – a place of zina, fisq and fujoor and the like. You will have to sleep in the same beds in which kuffaar sleep, and generally use the same facilities. There is bound to be violation of purdah. It is not permissible to spend time in such places of fisq and fujoor. Kuffaar kinds of immorality have become the accepted norm to Muslims, hence we no longer even understand the evil of such places. We view the fisq and fujoor with western eyes, hence the evil is not perceived.
