A government school in our town has arranged an educational trip to visit various places including several historical sites.

Answer

This shaitaani understanding will create destruction of the Imaan of these children who are being exposed to shirk indoctrination. Firstly, attending the government/secular school is haraam. Visiting the kuffaar temples is a greater haraam act. It is darkness compounded with darkness. Parents are paving the path for the ruin of the Imaan of their children by allowing them to be exposed to kufr and shirk.

Instead of abhorrence for idolatry, the visit and the commentary of the teachers will dilute the villainy of the shirk. In fact it will imbue congeniality for kufr and shirk in the minds of the children. The rijs (filth) of idols will become subconsciously acceptable to the children. The Qur‟aan refers to idols with the designation of RIJS (FILTH).

It is not permissible to visit even such places which Allah Ta‟ala had destroyed with His Athaab, e.g. the Dead Sea region where the nation of Nabi Loot (Alayhis salaam) was wiped out by Allah‟s Punishment. Such places are perpetually under the La‟nat (Curse) of Allah Ta‟ala. Hindu temples and all temples of shirk and kufr are worse than the areas destroyed by the Punishment of Allah Ta‟ala. The Curse of Allah Ta‟ala perpetually descends on places of idol-worship. Those who visit these abodes of shirk and kufr will be destructively affected by the La‟nat and Ghadhab of Allah Azza Wa Jal.

Parents and teachers are opening the avenue of shirk and kufr for the children with such haraam visiting. This type of education is satanism (shaitaaniyat) and haraam.

Shar‟i reason. This is an incumbent duty on Muslims who have to fill the Qabar by hand. There are also Masnoon Duas to be recited whilst pouring sand into the Qabar with one‟s hands. The cowardice and the kufr of Muslims are adequately mirrored by the tractor. The theories of the atheists have displaced their Imaan.
