Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it preferable for preachers, scholars, and students of knowledge who reside in lands that protect shirk (associating partners with Allah) and its people, is it preferable for them to migrate from those lands?
Answer:
It is obligatory for them to do so. If they are able to migrate, it is obligatory for them to do so. If they are not able, they should hold fast to their religion until Allah facilitates migration for them. They will be among the weak,[An-Nisa 4:98-99]. Yes.

إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ
