إقامة المسلم في بلد غير إسلامي : دراسة في ضوء الفقه الإسلامي

Abstract EN

This research studies the problems that have faced Muslims in the United States, Europe, and other similar places following September 11th 2001, and whether or not it should be permissible for a Muslim to reside in these places.

The research divides Muslims living in non-Muslim countries into two categories: 1) Muslims who emigrate because of politics, economics, education, or medical reasons, etc.; and 2) Those who convert to Islam.

The researcher presents evidence through his research and arrives at the conclusion that Muslims should not stay in non- Muslim lands forever, but rather they should have the intention of returning to their countries or any other Muslim country.

Staying in non-Muslim lands should be viewed as conditional based upon the ability to perform all worship freely.

If a Muslim is not permitted to worship freely in a particular non-Muslim country, then he/she should not stay there and should move to Muslim lands in order to practice Islam freely.
