Question:
This is a questioner from France who says: I want to migrate, my wife and I, to the lands of Islam, but my wife has an illness and is not in a stable condition. She is undergoing treatment there and has specific medications. He says: If she does not take them, she may suffer from a serious illness. He asks: What is the ruling on our migration if our situation is like this?
Answer:
It is permissible for a person to seek treatment in the lands of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). When the illness is gone, he returns to the lands of the Muslims. This is an exceptional case, so it is permissible to reside there for the duration of the dire necessity, while holding fast to the religion. Yes.
