Sheikh Saleh al-Fawzan حفظه الله said:
واحذر أيها الأب الغيور من الذهاب بأسرتك إلى الملاهي المختلطة،
والشواطئ والمنتزهات التي تظهر فيها المنكرات
"Beware, O' Jealous father, from
going with your family to free-mixing amusement parks and recreational beaches
which have evils apparent in them."
Sheikh ibn al-Uthaimeen رحمه الله
Question: Many Parents go with their children to what is called Children’s
amusement parks. In it are oppositions to the Shari'ah, such as some women
displaying their bodies. The children are severely eager to go to these
amusement parks. So what is the legislated ruling on going there?
Answer: “These amusement parks, as our questioner mentioned, have in
them evils. So if a place has evils, then if a person is able to remove these
evils it is obligatory upon him to attend to remove them. As for if he is
unable, then it is haraam upon him to attend. So now we say: Take your children
to the open land and that will suffice.
