Question
The place where the people of Nabi Saalih (Alayhis salaam) were punished is now on the tourist-ziyaarat list in Saudi Arabia. Can we visit this place?
Answer
It is not permissible to visit the places where Allah Ta'ala had sent his punishment. The nation of Thamud was obliterated with the Athaab of Allah Azza Wa Jal. Never visit a place on which the Curse and Punishment of Allah Azza Wa Jal had settled.
