What is the ruling of Islamic law on changing one's nationality?
There is no objection to changing one's nationality by affiliating with another country, so long as it does not entail a religiously forbidden consequence, such as the loss of rights. Indeed, Allah Almighty made people into nations and tribes for mutual recognition, not for pride or tribalism. Allah Almighty said: "And We made you into peoples and tribes that you may know one another."
