Praise be to Allah.
If your friend concerning whom you asked this question is a man of religion and insight, who has enough knowledge to protect himself from confusion and doubts, and enough wisdom to protect himself from desires, there is nothing wrong with helping him to move to the non-Islamic country where you live, so that he might gain employment or complete his studies or gain experience, and other similar permissible aims.
But if he is a man for whom you fear that he may fall into error, then it is not permissible for you to help him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ". . . Help one another in al-birr and al-taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety), but do not help one another in sin and transgression. . ." [al-Maaidah 5:2]
This is what we have learnt from our shaykh, Shaykh Abd al-Azeez ibn Abdullah ibn Baaz, with whose knowledge Allaah has benefitted us. Allah is the Source of help.
