Traveling to the lands of the disbelievers for work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q45: If a worker’s need requires him to travel to the lands of disbelief, whether to reside there for months or years, or for a short work assignment, what are the Islamic legal rulings that apply to him?
A45: If a Muslim’s need requires him to travel to the lands of disbelief, the rulings of Islam are obligatory upon him. It becomes more emphasized for him there to take pride in his religion, display its rituals, and not be accommodating in that regard. He must complete his prayers and not shorten them, and he must fast Ramadan if he knows that his stay will exceed four days. He must also not violate the terms of entering the country, for this is part of the religion of Allah. It is not permissible for him to work toward undermining security or anything else that is considered a violation of the terms of entering the country.
