Abstract

Sharia law means a plan to regulate human life, and in Islam, human life is not without a plan. Asylum is also one of the issues to which Islamic jurisprudence has a special approach. The jurisprudential ruling of asylum is raised with the issue of interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims. The present study was conducted using the analytical-descriptive research method with the aim of examining the jurisprudential foundations of the ruling on asylum in non-Islamic countries and addressed the issue of what is the ruling on Muslims becoming refugees in non-Islamic countries. The findings of the research show that in Islamic jurisprudence, the asylum of a Muslim person to non-Islamic countries has different forms, and according to them, a different jurisprudential ruling is found. In general, seeking refuge in non-Islamic countries is not prohibited in jurisprudence, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. The current research has examined two different approaches to this problem. The first approach is that it is not permissible for Muslims to seek refuge in non-Islamic countries, and the second approach is that it is permissible.
