Advice for One Who Resides in a Land Where Trials Are Prevalent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Salih, who says: I am currently in the Netherlands, and I would like advice from the Honorable Shaykh on how to preserve my religion, as I am exposed to many trials in this country.
Answer:
My brother, if you are able to emigrate from this country that exposes you to many trials, then emigrate to a good land and move with your religion. But if you are unable to do so, it is permissible for you to remain, provided you stay away from what causes you to fall into sins or trials. Stay away from that; isolate yourself from the places of trials, the places of religious innovation, and the places of associating partners with Allah. Stay away from them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
