Should he travel to kaafir countries or work in a tourist resort?

Firstly: 

We
appreciate your keenness to find halaal work and to seek advice, and your
eagerness to meet your family’s needs. We ask Allaah to help you to do that
which is best for you and will bring you happiness in this world and in the
Hereafter.

Secondly: 

As you are
studying in the business college, you have to look for work that is
permissible, because opportunities for halaal work in such fields are few.
Most companies and organizations nowadays deal in riba (usury) and insurance
and other haraam transactions, which makes working as an accountant in them
a kind of helping them in sin and transgression. 

Thirdly: 

Travelling
to western countries poses many dangers to man’s religious commitment and
morals. It is rare for a person to travel there and preserve his religious
commitment and not lose it, because of the false ideas and views that
prevail in those countries, and the deviant behaviour and morals that are so
obvious to everyone that some of their own wise men are warning against the
consequences of them. 

Hence one of
the beauties of our wise sharee’ah is that it forbids the Muslim to settle
in the kaafir lands. This has been explained in the answer to several
questions, such as 10338 and
14235. 

If a person
is compelled or needs to travel to these countries then he must fulfil
certain conditions in order for his travel to be permissible, the most
important of which is that he should have sufficient knowledge to protect
himself against specious arguments and he should have sufficient religious
commitment and taqwa (piety, fear of Allaah) to protect himself against
desires. He should take his wife with him if he cannot protect himself
against desires in any other way.  

You mention
that you are a single man, and you fear temptation for yourself. Therefore
you should not go ahead and risk your religious commitment. 

Fourthly: 

With regard
to working in a seaside tourist area in an area far removed from your
specialty, undoubtedly that is better than going to a kaafir land, but you
must pay attention to the following: 

1-The nature of the work must be
permissible.

2-It must be far away from places
of fitnah, such as if the work involves free mixing or if the area where it
is located is known for corruption and immorality because it is a tourist
area.

3-Your work should not be a help
to any of those tourists in doing evil, because in that case you would be a
partner in sin with them.

If the work
is free from these issues, then there is nothing wrong with it, in sha
Allaah. 

We ask
Allaah to help you and guide you. 

With regard
to your question: how can committed Muslim youth live in western societies? 

Undoubtedly
they suffer a great deal, and many of them regret going to those countries.
You will find many of their problems mentioned in questions submitted to
this site. But we do not deny that some of them are committed to their
religion and in some cases travel was better for them, but these cases are
very few. 

We ask
Allaah to make us and the Muslims steadfast in adhering to His religion
until we meet Him. 

And Allaah
is the Source of strength.
