The Criterion for a Land of Disbelief and a Land of Islam in Migration

The questioner:
And he asked Allah to see that he is among the people of faith, the people of the school, and the people of the princes.

The Shaykh:
We said that the criterion for the land from which one migrates is that it is governed by a disbeliever state that does not implement the law of Allah. This is the land from which one migrates. As for the land that is governed by a Muslim state that implements the law of Allah within it, establishes the hudud (fixed punishments), and rules by the Shari'ah, this is an Islamic state, even if there are some sins in it. Perfection is not achieved, even if there are some sins in it that are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah) and less than kufr (disbelief), even if some of them have shirk, as long as the one in authority is upright in obedience to Allah, implements the hudud, and establishes the Shari'ah in the matters of Islamic law, even if there are some sins, this is an Islamic land. An Islamic land. Yes.
