Riyadh, November 23,2024-A recent fatwa by prominent Saudi Islamic scholar Sheikh Aasim Al-Hakeem has sparked widespread debate, particularly among Muslims considering migration to non-Muslim countries for better opportunities.

Responding to a query on the platform X (formerly Twitter), Sheikh Al-Hakeem declared it impermissible for Muslims holding citizenship in Islamic countries to seek citizenship in non-Muslim nations, citing it as contrary to Islamic principles. “A Muslim is not allowed to take the citizenship of a non-Muslim country when he is already a citizen of a Muslim country,” he stated.

The fatwa has drawn sharp criticism online, with many pointing to the economic and social hardships faced by Muslims in their home countries. Critics argue that migration to non-Muslim nations often provides essential livelihood opportunities, especially for those from countries like Pakistan.

Several commentators also highlighted the irony of the situation, noting that many Muslims working in Gulf countries are denied citizenship even after decades of service. Others questioned the practicality of the fatwa, emphasizing that global migration is often driven by necessity rather than choice.

Sheikh Al-Hakeem, known for his controversial rulings, previously issued a fatwa deeming YouTube earnings haram. While he has yet to expand on his latest position, the ruling has reignited discussions on the intersection of Islamic principles and modern socioeconomic realities.
