Q. no disrespect to you, but you said, we must follow the law of the land we live in. Now if that is true, how can live like kaffirs.  Do you have an ayah or something? I need the ayah in English. I don’t read Arabic. (private box)

A. Living in a country and obeying its laws has noting to do with a person living like another person.

proof on the fact that we must follow laws of our given countries:

  • ow foo bil oqood (ayah) (meaning: fulfill your (halal) pledges)
  • Wa oo lul amri minkum (ayah) (follow elected leaders  from amongst yourselves.)

Sahaba made agreements and suffered greatly, none of the agreements were voluntarily  violated. Classical example: Sayidinah Bilal, Sayidinah Yassir and his family (radiaAllaahu anhum), etc.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
