Evidence for the permissibility of living in a non-Muslim country
[h=2]Question[/h] Can you please explain to me if it is allowed for a Muslim to live in non-Muslim countries. Can you please give evidence, because I have had heard other people saying that Muslims are not allowed to live in non-Muslim countries.
[h=2]Answered by[/h] Sheikh `Abd Allah b. Bayyah, professor at `Abd al-`Azz University in Jeddah
It is allowed for a Muslim to live in a non-Muslim country if certain conditions are met. A Muslim may live there for studying, medicalp purposes, business or the like. Sometimes a Muslim would rather live in such countries if he faces serious threats in his home country. However, in all of these cases, he must be able to freely practice his religion in his country of residence.
It was related in the hadth: “O Fudayk establish prayer, pay Zakk and abandon bad deeds and live with your people (the unbelievers) wherever you like.” [Related by Ibn Hibbn – all narrators are truthful].
Ahmad also related a hadth which is evidence for living in non-Muslim countries. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The countries are Allah’s countries and the people are Allah’s servants, so wherever you find good (living atmosphere), you may live.”

Muslims permitted to live in the lands of the pagans
[h=2]Question[/h] The prophet (peace be upon him) said: “I disown every Muslim who settles among the polytheists; they should not be able to see one another’s cooking fires.” It is also narrated that he said: “I accept your oath of allegiance that you will worship Allah, establish regular prayer, pay Zakh, be sincere towards the Muslims, and keep away from the polytheist.” The question is that since I am working in a company where the majority of the employees are Hindus, who are generally agreed upon to be polytheists since they worships many gods, I am definitely going against the hadth, since I am not only cooking with them, I am eating with them. In a company, you cannot avoid this. What should I do?
[h=2]Answered by[/h] Sheikh Muhammad al-Man`, professor at Umm al-Qur University
The prohibition given in the two hadth that you mentioned is directed to Muslims living in the land of the polytheists who fear that their faith will be compromised and that they will not be able to carry out the dictates of their religion. A Muslim who lives in such lands and does not have these problems may continue his residency among them.
We arrive at this position by correlating between the various textual evidences that pertain to the matter. Though some hadth prohibit residing among the polytheists, other hadth permit it. For example, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said the following to the commanders of his armies: “Then invite them to leave their lands and emigrate. Inform them that if they do so, they will have the same rights and duties as the emigrants. If the decline, then inform them that they will be like Muslim Bedouins. The same Law will apply to them that applies to other Muslims, but they will not share in the spoils of war.”
The great jurist, al-Shfi`, comments on this hadth, saying: “They would not have been given the option to do something that was forbidden for them.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) permitted a group of Meccan Muslims to reside in Mecca before its conquest, including al-`Abbs b. `Abd al-Muttalib [as related by al-Hkim] and Ab al-`As [as related by al-Hkim and al-Bayhaq]
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: “Whoever believes in Allah and His Messenger, establishes prayer, and fasts Ramadn, Allah will admit him into Paradise whether he goes forth to strive in the way of Allah or remains in the land of his birth..” If staying in the land of the unbelievers had been forbidden, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not have given them a choice between staying or leaving.
And Allah knows best.

Living In Non Muslim Lands

Contextualization
[The following mentions of some of the proofs that justify the convert to continue to reside in non-Muslim lands, which in fact, become for the convert, under certain conditions,
Dar al Islam [the abode of Islam] for him/her.]
The Position Of The Scholars With Regard To Residing In Non Muslim Lands:
“The majority of scholars of fiqh and they are the Hanafis, Hanbalis and Shafis ruled on the permissibility of residing in these lands for he who is capable of professing his religion and is secure in doing so.” Sin’at al-Fatwa wa Fiqh al-Aqaliyat (281)
Evidence for this position:
The Prophet (saw) permitted a people who had entered Islam in Makka to remain therein [and not migrate to Medina] after their profession of faith. Of those people were al Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib (r).
The Shafi school uses the story of Na’im al Nuhaam al Adawi (r) to justify their position. He stayed with his people as they asked him to do so. And the Prophet (saw) consented to this as is related in the Tabaqaat Of Ibn Sa’ad related on the authority of Muhammad Bin Umar al Waaqady (he is (rejected)
Matrouk) as mentioned by Abu Umar Ibn Abdul Barr (r) In the Istayaab and Ibn Atheer (r) in Usdu al Ghaaba.
Locating Dar al-Islam For The Convert
Ibn Hajr (r) related on behalf of Imam Mawardi (r):
“If it be the case that a Muslim is capable of professing and manifesting his/her faith in the land of the non-Muslims, then that has become for him/her his/her Dar al Islam. His residing in that land is more favorable than his leaving from it given that it is desirable that others enter into Islam beside him/her.”
An Najaashi (r) entered into Islam and remained among his people. The Prophet (saw) said in his respect: “Today a righteous man has passed away, so stand and offer the funeral prayer for your brother… (Bukhari)”
A Fundamental Condition Governing Residence In A Non Muslim Land
The condition for remaining in the land of the non-Muslims is that one is capable of securing his manifestation of Islam. (Fatawa Hadithiyah Ibn Hajr Haythami)
Rulings Governing Citizenship
Citizenship, is secondary to residence. To become a citizen takes on five rulings:
1.) Forbidden: if one fears he will abandon Islam or his children if he finds a country wherein there is no “fitna”
2.) Disliked: if he does not fear the non-muslims but he witnesses wrongdoing and he finds another country wherein there is less wrong doing.
3.) Obligatory: In the case there is benefit and interest for the Muslims in the case of residing or his leaving contributes to corruption.
4.) Allowable: when all options are equal
5.) Favorable: If one engages in da’wah in the case that there are others engaging in da’wah.
Juridical Clause
These are matters that need study so as to realize the underlying rational of each case….

[h=3]Fatwa No : 12829[/h] |
[h=1]Living in a non-Muslim country[/h] |
[h=3]Fatwa Date : Rabee' Al-Awwal 14, 1433 / 7-2-2012[/h] |

Question[/h]
I am an Italian Muslim who converted 17 years ago, then studied Arabic and religious sciences in Madeenah. What is the ruling on natives of these countries who convert to Islam? Should they emigrate to a Muslim country or it is permissible for them to stay in their native land? What is the ruling of migrating from one non-Muslim country to another?
[h=2]Answer[/h]
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
is His slave and Messenger.
Ibn Qudaamah
who followed the Hanbali school, said that there are three different categories of people with regards to migration:
The first includes those who should emigrate. This applies to those who are able to, while not being able to practice the rituals of their religion while living among disbelievers. For this category of people emigration is obligatory. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
•
{Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves - [the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allaah spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is Hell - and evil it is as a destination.** [Quran 4:97]
The second are those who do not have to emigrate because they are unable to do so, because they or their families are sick, old, vulnerable or they have been coerced to stay. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
•
{Except for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way. For those it is expected that Allaah will pardon them, and Allaah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.** [Quran 4:98-99]
The third are those for whom it is desirable but not obligatory to emigrate. This applies to those who are able to emigrate but can also perform the rituals of their religion in the non-Muslim country. It is better for them to emigrate so they can fight disbelievers and increase the number of Muslims. Moreover, by emigrating they will not intermingle with disbelievers or see evil deeds. Still, it is not obligatory for those people to emigrate because they can perform their religious rituals. Al-‘Abbaas
the uncle of the Prophet
, lived in Makkah after converting to Islam.
Thus, Muslims who do not fear hardship with regards to money, family or committing evil deeds, and can perform their religious rituals in a non-Muslim country, may stay. It is not obligatory for them to emigrate, however it is extremely favorable for them to live among Muslims in a Muslim country. There are many advantages to living in a Muslim country, such as performing congregational prayer, hearing the call for prayer (Athaan), seeing righteous Muslims and righteous deeds, seeing less evil deeds and many other advantages that may lead a person to be more righteous and steadfast.
As for the Hadeeth where it was narrated that the Prophet
, told us that he disassociated himself from any Muslim who lived in a country of disbelievers, this Hadeeth applies to those who are not safe from affliction.
It is permissible to move from one non-Muslim country to another if they are not at war with Muslims, because the same ruling applies to both, especially if there is a religious reason, such as learning, undertaking Da‘wah (Islamic propagation), or cooperating in righteousness and piety.
Allaah Knows best.
