Is metal detecting allowed in Islam?

[Finding Peace]

I like to go metal detecting. It's fun and you get to explore the earth. Is it haram?

 

[Futuwwa]

I have absolutely no idea how it could possibly be haram.

 

[Serinity]

I can't see how it would be haram??????????????

You are exploring the earth.

One of the beauties of Islam.

The preponderant position according to the vast majority of the scholars (al-rajih `inda al-jumhur) is that in our Religion “the default in things is permissibility” (al-aslu fil-ashya’ al-ibaha) until proven haram.

Just to clarify this is only to do with worldly matters. In cases of worship the ruling is the opposite i.e. all forms of worship are forbidden except for that which is found in the Qur'an and Sunnah.

I highly doubt it.

And it could come useful for Arabs who still think that Dhul Qarnayns barrier still stands - go find it I say
