Taking the nationality of a disbeliever state

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a Muslim from a disbeliever state, and I live in the lands of the Muslims. Is it permissible for me to take the nationality of another disbeliever state because of the difficulty of living in my original country?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to take the nationality of the disbelievers. It is not permissible, because you would become one of their followers, subject to them. However, taking residence in the lands of the disbelievers out of need is permissible. Yes.
