Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on one who leaves the lands of the Muslims to live in the lands of the disbelievers, and the reason for his going to the lands of the disbelievers is that living in the lands of the Muslims is difficult,
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to go to the lands of the disbelievers to reside there. Unless there is a benefit for the Muslims in his going, such as calling to Allah, or he wants treatment, or he wants something in the lands of the disbelievers, or trade where he wants to contract with companies to the extent of need, there is no harm. But going to reside in the lands of the disbelievers, this is not permissible. Yes.
