Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person was born in a land of disbelievers, and his nationality is the same as theirs. Then he embraced Islam, but he is unable to manifest his religion, and all his family are disbelievers. Is emigration obligatory upon him? And where should he emigrate to?
Answer:
He should emigrate to the land where he is able to manifest his religion, if he is able. If he is not able, he remains until he is able, as in the noble verse.
