The ruling on migrating from one disbeliever’s country to another in pursuit of a better livelihood

Question:
This questioner says: A Muslim man from a disbeliever’s country, is it permissible for him to migrate to another disbeliever’s country because the livelihood there is better than in his first country?

Answer:
Migration to the lands of Islam, or it may be to a disbeliever’s land that is less harmful than his own, just as the Muslims migrated to the land of Abyssinia. They migrated from Makkah because the land of Abyssinia was Christian and its king was just, to commit the lesser of two harms to repel the greater.
