I came from France to work, but I did not intend to emigrate; is my action correct?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am from France, and I emigrated to this country, but I did not intend to emigrate; because my employer can send me away whenever he wishes; because the contract is renewed every year. So, is my action correct?

Answer:
You did not come as an emigrant; you came as a worker. You came as a worker. Emigration is if you move yourself, without anyone bringing you in, and you move and reside with the Muslims in their land; that is emigration. As for coming as a worker and saying, "I am an emigrant," no, you are not an emigrant. Does this become an emigrant? The one mentioned in the hadith emigrated for the sake of a woman. You emigrated for the sake of money and for the sake of greed. Yes.
