Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:58] Is the exception in His saying, the Exalted, "except a few," a disconnected exception, or is it intended in the sense of meaning?
Answer:
It is permissible to reside in the lands of the disbelievers in which Allah has not forbidden residence. The default is that the earth is for people to inhabit, even if it was previously the land of the disbelievers, except for what Allah has forbidden to inhabit, which is not to be inhabited. Yes.
