Is it permissible to acquire the nationality of a disbeliever state?

Question:
The questioner will ask: Is acquiring the nationality of a disbeliever state considered imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to acquire the nationality. This is among the ugliest forms of imitation. Rather, this leads to their religion; it leads to entering their religion. We ask Allah for safety. So, it is not permissible to acquire the nationality from them. Yes, pray upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
