Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I hold the nationality of one of the lands of disbelief. Is it permissible for me to acquire the nationality of another land of disbelief?
Answer:
The original ruling on acquiring the nationality of the disbelievers is not permissible for a Muslim. We mentioned this in the previous lesson, I think yesterday. It is not permissible for a Muslim to acquire the nationality of the disbelievers, because he falls under their rule. If he acquires their nationality, he becomes one of their subjects and falls under their rule. It is not permissible for a Muslim to fall under the rule of the disbelievers and become one of their subjects. However, it is permissible for him to reside among them to the extent of necessity, without acquiring their nationality. Yes.
