حکم کسب تابعیت کشورهای غیر اسلامی

Abstract

Citizenship refers to the political, legal, and spiritual relationship that connects an individual to a specific state. Classical jurists did not specifically discuss acquiring citizenship from non-Islamic countries, as this issue was not addressed during the golden ages of Islam. Moreover, citizenship, in its modern form, is a contemporary issue that has emerged over the past two centuries. Contemporary scholars hold two different views regarding the ruling on acquiring citizenship from non-Islamic countries. Some scholars, based on reasons from the Quran, Sunnah, and Islamic legal principles, argue that loyalty to non-Muslims and living among them is prohibited, as this could lead to fitnah for Muslims, making it unlawful and impermissible. Others, however, have permitted acquiring citizenship from non-Islamic countries under specific conditions. The prevailing view, however, is that acquiring citizenship from non-Islamic countries is forbidden and impermissible.
