Is emigrating to non-Muslim countries for the purpose of increasing income and more quickly providing for the expenses of Hajj considered a legitimate emigration?
It is impermissible to emigrate from Muslim lands to non-Muslim lands for one who cannot practice the rituals of his religion or fears falling into tribulation.
