Is it permissible to travel by sea through smuggling from Indonesia to Australia, given the delayed response from the Refugee Commission, the instability of the children and their inability to study, and the spread of corruption and proselytization in the current place of residence?
This journey is impermissible due to the dangers and risks surrounding it. Entering a country without permission is considered deception and trickery. Boarding illegal ships by sea may lead to drowning, or to humiliation and degradation, which contradicts the obligation to preserve one's life and honor. A Muslim is not to debase himself. Furthermore, traveling to a non-Muslim country without necessity, while there are many Muslim countries where one can reside, is not allowed.
