The ruling on acquiring the nationality of disbelievers out of dire necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on acquiring the nationality of disbelievers for the sake of dire necessity?

Answer:
It is not permissible to acquire the nationality of disbelievers. As for obtaining a residence permit, there is nothing wrong with it to the extent of the pressing need. As for acquiring nationality, that would make you one of their subjects, so no. Yes. That is the end of it. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.
