Question:
Peace be upon you. What is the obligation of the one who studies in the lands of the disbelievers during his residence in their lands? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to fear Allah and hold fast to his religion, so he does not curry favor with the disbelievers at the expense of his religion. He does not say, "You are good people, and you are on the truth, and we are on the truth just as I mentioned to you." No, he must be such that when an occasion comes, he says, "Islam is the true religion, whereas the religion you are upon is a false religion." It is obligatory for him to do so. Yes.
