Is migration obligatory if one worships Allah in a land of disbelief but is unable to denounce shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: A man resides in a land of disbelief, but he displays his prayer and his tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
The Shaykh:
Where does he go? But he displays his prayer and his tawhid. But what is it? He displays it. He displays it. Yes.
The questioner:
But he displays his prayer and his tawhid, yet he does not curse shirk (associating partners with Allah). Is migration obligatory for him?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is not displaying the religion. The mere fact that he prays and worships and is not prevented is not displaying the religion. Displaying the religion is declaring the creed, explaining shirk (associating partners with Allah), and forbidding shirk. That is displaying the religion. Yes.
