Visiting places where the azaab of Allah Ta`ala had descended
Question
Since the places of azaab is not recommended to spend much time there e.g. Dead sea in Jerusalem, can one visit Petra? Is it ok to spend a night there or better to see and leave a.s.a.p. Please advise.
Answer
Places where the azaab of Allah Ta`ala had descended must be avoided.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
