Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I am from a country in Europe, so is it obligatory for me to migrate, given that I display fasting, prayer, and the call to prayer?
Answer:
If you are able to migrate, migrate if you are able. If you are not able, you are excused, provided you hold fast to your religion. However, displaying the religion is not merely that you fast and pray and they say nothing to you; that is not displaying the religion. Displaying the religion is that you call to Allah, you call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), to the worship of Allah, and to the religion of Islam. That is displaying the religion.
