Dealing with a Non-Muslim Ruler in a Minority Country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, may Allah reward you, we are in a country where we do not have Muslim rule, and there are many religious sects. So what should we do if the ruler is not Muslim?
Answer:
You do what you can, you hold fast to your religion, and you do what you can. As for what you cannot do, Allah does not ask you about it,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]. But if you are able to migrate to a land where you can manifest your religion, then migration becomes obligatory for you. If you are not able, then you must hold fast to your religion and do what you can until Allah makes migration easy for you. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
