The Ruling on a Muslim in Lands of Disbelief When Migration Is Impossible

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In the present time, in some non-Muslim countries, some people have entered Islam, yes. He says: In the present time, in some non-Muslim countries, some people have entered Islam, and they may face some difficulties in practicing the rituals of their religion. You know that moving to a Muslim country is not possible in the present time, so what is the action and the ruling regarding these people?

Answer:
As for the claim that migration is not possible, this is a matter of consideration. Why is it not valid? It is possible, but it has procedures and regulations. If migration is permitted, it becomes possible. However, if one has emigrated but is unable to perform hijrah, he is among the weak, like the weak ones who were in Makkah during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They said he is not among the weak,
(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 Allahإِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن
[An-Nisa 4:98-99]
he worships, he is among the weak, yes.
