Accordingly, under the conditions, safeguards, and interests the author has outlined, a Muslim may imitate non-Muslims when doing so secures a great benefit or wards off a grave harm.

I would further add that such conduct must never be accompanied by declaring something unlawful to be lawful, neglecting an obligatory duty, or compromising sound creed.

In addition, a Muslim should not travel to non-Muslim lands except out of necessity or for an overriding benefit, for such travel exposes him to many potential violations of the Sharīʿah while interacting with unbelievers.
