Question:
The Shaykh’s issue: May Allah inform you, if the enemy enters the land of some Muslims and seizes it, what is obligatory for these Muslims? And does the one who comes from it have to leave, or is it forbidden for him to leave?
Answer:
To the extent of one’s ability. If he is able to leave and flee with his religion and emigrate to the lands of the Muslims, it is obligatory for him to do so. If he is not able, he remains to the extent of dire necessity.[An-Nisa 4:98-99]. Yes.

(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
