If a Muslim lives in a non-Muslim majority country and faces conflicts between Islamic laws and local laws, they should:
1. Seek guidance from Islamic scholars or local Muslim leaders.
2. Understand the local laws and their implications.
3. Explore exemptions or accommodations, if available.
4. Practice Islamic laws in a way that doesn’t contravene local laws.
5. Engage in dialogue with the wider community to promote understanding.
6. Prioritize obedience to Islamic laws, but avoid confrontations.
Remember, Muslims are encouraged to be respectful and obedient to the laws of the land they live in, while maintaining their faith and identity (Qur’an 4:59, 5:1).
