The answer

It is permissible to emigrate to a land of disbelief for work and to pay off debts if the emigrant is upright and committed to his religion, provided that he does not lie about the reason for his stay, such as claiming political asylum when he is not, rather he must be truthful, or request humanitarian asylum.
