What is the ruling on residing in a foreign country after seeking political asylum based on false claims, and what is the ruling on the money obtained as a result?
Seeking political asylum without necessity involves religious prohibitions, including: lying, which leads to wickedness; seeking asylum unnecessarily, which may fall under inclining towards wrongdoers; taking money through deception; and residing in lands of disbelief, with its consequent neglect of duties and commission of prohibitions. Repentance to Allah is obligatory.
