570. Can We Go To Amusement Park?

“It is not permissible to go to places in which munkaraat (evil things) are prevalent, (particularly since) there is sufficient enjoyment in the things which Allaah has permitted for us, and we have no need of that which He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) has forbidden for us.” 

(Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa.imah lil-Buhooth al-'Ilmiyyah wal-Iftaa., - Volume 12, Page 361, Question 2 of Fatwa No.9354)

And Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said: 
“These funfairs – as the questioner mentioned – include some evils. If there are any objectionable things in them, then if it is possible for a person to remove these objectionable things, then he is obliged to go there in order to remove them. 
If he cannot do that, then it is haraam for him to go there and in that case we say: 
Take your children out to the country and that is sufficient. 
But if he takes them to the funfair, in which there is mixing and foolish man who try to chat up women, and there are clothes that it is not permissible for a woman to wear, then it is not permissible to go there unless he is able to remove the objectionable things.”
(al-Liqa’ al-Shahri, 75/question no. 8)

And Allaah knows best
