Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on traveling to the lands of the disbelievers for the purpose of living there and residing there for work?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to travel to the lands of the disbelievers to reside there. Rather, the obligatory thing is the opposite: emigrating from the abode of disbelief to the abode of Islam. Provision is in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic),[An-Nisa 4:100],

وَمَن يُهَاجِرْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يَجِدْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُرَاغَمًا كَثِيرًا وَسَعَةً
