Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on acquiring a disbeliever's nationality for the purpose of avoiding restrictions in the call to Allah?
The Shaykh:
Regarding its absence.
The questioner:
The absence of restrictions in the call to Allah.
The Shaykh:
I don't know.
The questioner:
Restrictions.
The Shaykh:
Restrictions? No, it is not permissible to acquire the nationality of the disbelievers. Rather, you obtain a residence permit, and there is nothing wrong with that. Acquiring their nationality means you take on their ruling; the ruling of the disbelievers applies to you. This is not permissible.
