The ruling on traveling to the lands of the disbelievers to complete one's studies when it is not possible in the lands of the Muslims

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: I am unable to complete my studies in this country, and if I want to complete my studies, I must leave this country and go to the lands of disbelief. Am I sinful for doing so? And what do you advise me?

Answer:
If your leaving for the lands of the disbelievers and traveling there is for a valid purpose, there is nothing wrong with it. This is among the purposes for which traveling to the lands of the disbelievers is permissible.
