The ruling on a man emigrating from a land of disbelief and leaving his mother who is in need of him

Question:
May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. We conclude with this question, in which the brother from Morocco says that he lives with his mother in France. She is advanced in age, and there is no one to care for her other than him. He wants to emigrate to the lands of Islam. So, is he required to emigrate and leave his mother, or what should he do? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to emigrate and leave his mother while she is in need of him. Rather, he should stay with her to serve her and be dutiful to her. This is an excuse for him; this is an excuse for him to remain with his mother[An-Nisa 4:98-99]. He is excused for leaving emigration, provided he holds fast to his religion and remains upright upon his religion, and he is dutiful to his mother.

(98) Except for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way - (99) For those it is expected that Allah will pardon them
إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ
