Permissibility of Sea Voyages for Trade in Islam

Sea Voyages for Trade


Written by: Imran Ayyub Lahori


Allāh Almighty says:
وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ [Fāṭir: 12]
“You see great ships plowing through it (the waters) so that you may seek of His bounty.”


The Prophet ﷺ mentioned a man from Banī Isrāʾīl who set out to sea and fulfilled his needs through trade.
[Bukhārī: 2063, Kitāb al-Buyūʿ: Bāb al-tijārah fī al-baḥr]
