Muslims do not just occupy Muslim countries, but also non-Muslim countries. To sustain the life, they require basic needs as they are included into the element of desire (hajat) and emergency (darurat) which is inevitable by them. But to obtaining of the basic needs does not always conform to the sharia laws.
