The ruling on emigrating from lands of disbelief that do not restrict the Muslim in his religious practices

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the present time, there are lands of disbelief in which people live, and the Muslim is not harassed in them when he performs the rituals of the religion. Is it obligatory for him to emigrate from them?

Answer:
Yes, if he is able, it is obligatory for him to be bold, because he is not able to call to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and deny shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is not enough for him to just pray and fast, not getting involved, and not doing this. This is not manifesting the religion. Manifesting the religion is that you call to Allah, you enjoin tawhid and forbid shirk, you enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. This is manifesting the religion. Yes.
