The questioner : May Allah reward you. If a person moves from his country to another country for a living, to seek knowledge, or for other reasons, where is his pledge of allegiance?
The Shaykh : His pledge of allegiance is to his ruler.
The questioner : In his country?
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : If he does not rule by what Allah has revealed, and ... and ... does he transfer his pledge of allegiance to ... he is a traveler.
The Shaykh : By Allah, perhaps if his ruler in his country is a disbeliever with explicit disbelief, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: then he may intend his pledge of allegiance to be under the command of, for example, a Muslim ruler, yes, that is right.
The questioner : Other than his ruler, you mean?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is right, because he does not believe that this ruler is a disbeliever with explicit disbelief. But note the word "explicit," because those who rule by other than what Allah has revealed may have the matter confused for them. But suppose it is known that this man does not pray, he mocks the worshippers, and he explicitly states that Islam is a regressive religion; this is a disbeliever, with explicit disbelief, yes?
The questioner : May Allah forgive you ... and the man is righteous and the girl wants people who are not religious ...
The Shaykh : She remains until she dies.
The questioner : Meaning, he does not force her ...
The Shaykh : No, he does not force her, but he convinces her, he convinces her and discourages her, saying, "Look, do not think I will marry you to a man who is not suitable."
The Shaykh : His pledge of allegiance is to his ruler.

He has from Allah a proof
