The Ruling on Working in a Country Other Than One’s Country of Residence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Muhammad Sadiq, says: I am a man from a country other than this blessed land, and I came for 'Umrah but stayed behind. Is it permissible for me to work here? And what is the ruling on the money I earn?

Answer:
This is a matter of regulation. If the regulations do not permit you to work, or if they prevent you from working, then do not work. However, if the regulations allow you to do so, there is no harm. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
