Exegesis of the verse: “Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while they wronged themselves”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
It was mentioned regarding Shaytan that Allah the Exalted said: “Those whom the angels of error left behind…” They said: “Indeed, they have been weakened to their Lord…” What is the harm in the killing of the one who is killed in the verse?
The Shaykh:
Leaving the migration; wronging oneself by leaving the migration while he is able to do so. This is his wronging of himself. So the one who leaves the migration from the land of disbelief to the land of Islam to escape with his religion, while he is able to migrate, is threatened with this threat.
The questioner:
And it is not obligatory to eat.
The Shaykh:
It is not correct. If you are able, if you are capable of migrating, this is a claim from him that is not correct. He is capable of migrating, or he is weak in the sense that he is not able to manifest his religion. This is not an excuse. If you are weak in manifesting your religion, it is obligatory for you to migrate. If you are prevented from manifesting the religion, it is obligatory for you to migrate with everyone, except for the one who is not able to migrate[An-Nisa 4:98-99]. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.

(98) Except for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way - (99) For those it is expected that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا
