Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to go to the lands of the disbelievers for the sake of working there while displaying his religion?
Answer:
Yes, if he needs to work here while holding fast to his religion, there is nothing wrong with that. If he needs work in the lands of the Muslims and finds work there, there is nothing wrong with seeking sustenance while holding fast to his religion; it is permissible. He may travel for trade, buying and selling, and contracting with companies. It is permissible to travel to the lands of the polytheists for treatment that is not available except with them. It is permissible to travel, and it is even recommended or obligatory to travel for the purpose of calling people to Allah. Yes.
