Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some of the Muslims these days are going to the lands of disbelief in order to earn a livelihood, because the circumstances in the land of Islam and the means of earning are weak. Is their going there valid?

Answer:
Yes, there is no obstacle in going there to seek a livelihood, and trade is for a valid purpose, whether for seeking a livelihood or for trade; there is nothing wrong with it.
