The ruling on refusing marriage if the husband intends to take her to the lands of disbelief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: I am a Muslim woman who emigrated from the West, and I am currently residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I am a Muslim woman who emigrated from the West, and I am currently residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and I want to stay there because of its commitment to implementing the Shari'ah. Muslim suitors from the West come to me and want to take me back there, but I do not wish to return. Is it permissible for me to refuse them until a Muslim husband becomes available?

Answer:
Yes, since you are an emigrant, do not marry anyone who would take you back to the lands of the West, even if he is a Muslim. Yes.
