Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people say that loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara') does not need to be applied in disbeliever lands. What is the opinion on this statement?
Answer:
A Muslim is a Muslim, whether he is in disbeliever lands or in Muslim lands; he is a Muslim. Loyalty and disavowal are part of Islam, and it is not permissible for him to reside in lands of disbelief unless he is able to manifest his religion, and loyalty and disavowal are part of his religion.
