The migration of a student of knowledge out of fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and the need of his country for him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A student of knowledge is in his country, but he fears for himself fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from the trials present in his country, so he migrates to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (may Allah preserve it) to be at peace regarding his religion, even though the people in his country are in the greatest need of him?
Answer:
No, if the Muslims in the other country need the student of knowledge, then it is better for him to stay with them. He stays with them, calls them to Allah, and clarifies their religion. His staying with them is a stronger public benefit, and it is the call to Allah and guiding the Muslims there, which is stronger than his migration to the land of Saudi Arabia. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
