The Ruling on Studying in the Lands of the Disbelievers

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on going to the disbeliever countries for the sake of studying?

Answer:
This answer will be repeated, meaning, if the study is permissible and necessary, there is nothing wrong with it, limited to the duration of the study only, because this is an apparent benefit that is not available in the lands of the Muslims, if the specialization exists there or if he goes and studies it in the Qur'an. However, if the specialization does not exist except among the disbelievers and the Muslims are in need of it, there is no harm in him going to study with them and staying for the duration of the need, while holding fast to his religion.
