What is the ruling on residing in the lands of disbelievers without need, while maintaining the outward acts of worship?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is residing in the lands of disbelievers without need a form of loyalty toward them, despite adhering to the outward religious practices?

Answer:
First, migration is required without a doubt. A person should migrate to the lands of the Muslims, live with the Muslims, and raise his children with the children of the Muslims in the schools of the Muslims. This is a required matter without a doubt. As for the obligation of migration, it applies to the one who is unable to manifest his religion. He is unable to call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and to denounce shirk (associating partners with Allah). Manifesting the religion is not that you pray and fast and remain silent? Is that manifesting the religion? Manifesting the religion is that you engage in da'wah (calling others to Islam), clarify the invalidity of shirk and the invalidity of what they are upon, and call them to tawhid. If they leave you alone to call to Allah, that is manifesting the religion. Yes.
