Summary/Abstract: In this study, we will reveal the verbal value of the concept of travel in the Qur'ān, which is the main source of the religion of Islam and hence the Islamic law, the meaning implied by this concept and the meaning that the Islamic scholars attributed to it. Then we will try to make a comparison with what is meant by this concept. In this way, by analyzing the concept of travel, we will contribute to a better understanding of the existence and limits of freedom of travel in Islamic law. On the other hand, considering the reflection of etymological origins on legal con-sequences, we will try to define the quality of freedom of travel based on the etymological quest of travel. In addition, we will take arguments from such fields that Tafsīr, Ḥadīth, Islamic Law, Human Law, Sociology and especially Tourism and Islamic Tourism in particular, and present data to these fields with a multidisciplinary approach.
