Naturalization with the nationality of a disbeliever’s country

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You previously issued a ruling that it is forbidden for a Muslim to naturalize with the nationality of a disbeliever’s country because he will be subject to their laws. He asks: Does that mean that if he naturalizes with the nationality of a disbeliever’s country, he becomes a disbeliever like them? Because some people attribute to you the declaration of disbelief (takfir) for whoever does that?

Answer:
No, I did not say he is a disbeliever. He says: I am saying that whoever says he is a disbeliever is a liar. I did not say he is a disbeliever. I say it is forbidden (haram); it is not permissible. This is a place of the Garden of Paradise. And a decision was issued a few years ago by the Fiqh Council affiliated with the Muslim World League regarding not naturalizing with the nationality of disbelievers. Yes. As for taking a residence permit according to need, he takes a residence permit, but naturalization, no. Yes.
