Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to travel to the lands of the disbelievers for the sake of trade?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. He travels to the lands of the disbelievers for the sake of trade and returns, or to learn something that benefits the Muslims, such as a profession that benefits the Muslims and is not found except among the disbelievers. He travels for that purpose, volunteering to study it so that he may return and meet the needs of the Muslims.
