We conclude with this question. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on acquiring the nationality of disbelievers? It is not for the sake of loyalty, but for protection and safety in this state from the enemies?
Answer:
It is forbidden for a Muslim to acquire the nationality of disbelievers. If he resides among them out of necessity, there is no harm, provided he holds fast to his religion. Residing is not the same as acquiring nationality. It is not permissible for a Muslim to acquire the nationality of disbelievers. He may reside among them, but he does not acquire their nationality.
