Question:
Assalām ʿalaykum: what is the
ruling in the Revealed Law regarding emigrating from Arab countries that are
experiencing unrest and security problems, such as Syria, Iraq and Libya, to
European countries in order to live, work and have ongoing stability? May Allah
reward you.
Answer (from Sheikh Muḥammad Tawfīq
Ramaḍān):
Emigration is not
permissible, and especially because they do not agree to this.[1]
Furthermore, sticking to the lands of Islam
is obligatory while being far away from tribulation is merely something sought, and it
is within a person’s capacity to go to a Muslim country until circumstances
have improved.
