Residing Permanently in a Non-Muslim Country for Economic Reasons
Assalam-o-Alaikum, Could you please tell me under what circumstances it is permissible for a Muslim to settle and reside permanently in a non-Muslim country for economic reasons? By kwoningly the life of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) and his companions, if they can live on little so do we.Most of the migrants in these days left their country purely for economic reasons and take asylum in europe or other western countries on humanitarian and political grounds by making fake cases, they know author ities will never accept their cases on economic reasons. Telling lies is not good but what else one can do if he/she have to support his/her family?I would be grateful if the answer was supported by evidence from the Holy Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the statements of scholars and individuals of knowledge. Jazakum Allah khayran.
