The ruling on emigration when there are obstacles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the current laws of some countries may prevent some Muslims from emigrating, as well as a lack of money and the unavailability of work and housing. In this case, are they excused? If a system prevents them from leaving their country and they do not have the ability to do so
Answer:
and they are unable to attempt it, they are excused in this matter until the obstacle is removed, and then they emigrate. Your intention must be present, along with hatred of the disbelievers and hatred of their lands; this is necessary. The intention to emigrate must be with you, and as soon as you are able, you emigrate. Allah the Exalted says:[At-Taghabun 64:16]. Yes.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
