Praise be to Allah.

With regard to laws promulgated in non-Muslim countries, one of the following three scenarios must apply:

1.

The laws are contrary to what Allah has prescribed, such as giving the wife the power of divorce, or not giving the father guardianship over his daughter after she reaches puberty, or giving a daughter the same share of the estate as a son, allowing the drinking of alcohol and zina (sex outside of marriage), and so on. It is not permissible to act upon these laws or approve of them.

2.

The laws are in accordance with what is mentioned in Islamic teachings. In this case, one should abide by them, in obedience to Allah and His Messenger.

3.

The Islamic texts have not said anything about the laws, but they are in the best interests of people, such as laws having to do with driving and the age at which driving is allowed. These laws must be adhered to, in accordance with the religious texts which enjoin being faithful to contracts and covenants, such as the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Fulfill (your) obligations” [al-Maa’idah 5:1] and the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “Muslims are bound by their conditions, except a condition that forbids something permissible or permits something forbidden.” Abu ‘Eesa [at-Tirmidhi] said: This is a hasan saheeh hadith. It was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) in Saheeh Ibn Maajah (2353).

And Allah knows best.

If you cannot take the heat, leave the kitchen.
If the laws of another country don't suit you, then leave. Simples.
I'm Muslim.

if anyone finds the law of another country other than his or hers contradicts their faith and cannot bear to live with it, the best is to leave! Are Churches allowed to be built in Saudi Arabia? At least there are mosques in Rome,when are the Saudis going to return the favour as civility demands or is it a case of hypocrisy?

First of all, I don't even believe Allah is a god talk more of accepting Islam as a religion.

That off,

Saudi is a rich big country with laws from your system. Don't just bother going to places where you already know their laws won't be in tandem with what your cult says.

This shouldn't be a problem. You headslammers can always find your way back to the Shariah shitholes you crawled out of.

Is this according to Quran, Hadiths or opinions of Ulamas? You need to specify which you based this write up upon and site the verse or hadith!

That said, what I know is one is supposed to OBEY all laws passed by our leaders as longs as they don't ask us to worship another god. If you cannot obey, you are supposed to leave! Not stay in the land and disobey laws of the land

Allah knows best
