The return of the emigrating woman to the land of disbelief to settle her papers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman left the land of disbelief and intended to migrate to the land of Islam, but she was forced to return to settle some paperwork, and the administration in the land of disbelief required her to come and go to settle some of her documents. Her question is: Is it permissible for her to return now for a temporary period until she finishes her affairs, and then return to the land of Islam? And your Eminence knows what this woman and others like her face in terms of restrictions on her hijab and other such matters.
Answer:
Rely on Allah. She should entrust someone to handle some of the matters that require it, or entrust someone to do it. If the matter becomes necessary, she goes with a mahram (a relative one may not marry) and finishes what is required of her, while adhering to the hijab and her religion, which obligates her in every respect. You are a soldier and have religious matters. Yes.
