Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on taking one of the nationalities of the disbelieving countries for the sake of the difference in treatment, since the one who takes it is treated better than others?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to acquire the nationality of the disbelievers, because one becomes one of their subjects; one becomes one of their subjects, and their system applies to him. This is not permissible; one becomes under their authority. Yes.
