Bn Baz's reply to the letter from Italy - ابن باز

Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote:

With regard to your letter in which you say that you are a young Muslim man living in Italy and that there are many young Muslim men there and that most of them responded to the crusaders’ wishes by keeping far away from the religion of Islam and its noble teachings, so most of them do not pray and they have bad morals and do evil deeds which they regard as permissible, and other things that you mention in your letter…
I advise you that living in a land in which shirk and kufr, and Christianity and other religions of kufr are prevalent, is not permissible, whether you are staying there for work, business, study or some other purpose, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): ‘In what (condition) were you?’ They reply: ‘We were weak and oppressed on the earth.’ They (angels) say: ‘Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?’ Such men will find their abode in Hell — what an evil destination!
Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way.
These are they whom Allah is likely to forgive them, and Allah is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Oft-Forgiving”
[al-Nisa’ 4:97-99]

And because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“I have nothing to do with any Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.”

This settling among the kuffaar is not done by one who knows the real meaning of Islam and faith, or who knows what Allah has enjoined upon the Muslims, or who is pleased with Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion, and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as his Prophet and Messenger.
Being pleased and content with that means loving Allah, giving precedence to seeking His pleasure, being very concerned about following His religion and keeping company with His close friends, which means that one must completely disavow and keep far away from the kaafirs and their lands. Rather, faith as defined in the Qur’an and Sunnah cannot coexist with these evils.
