Naturalization with the nationality of disbelieving countries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to naturalize with the nationality of the disbelievers, the disbelieving countries?

Answer:
No, it is forbidden. If one naturalizes with the nationality of the disbelievers, their rulings apply to him and he becomes one of them. The Muslim disavows the disbelievers; he resides among them only to the extent of necessity, without naturalizing with their nationality. He obtains a residence permit under the residence system only. Yes, to the extent of necessity. Yes.
