Question:
The questioner described the Shaykh and the nature of the ignorance, saying: In my country, they rule by new laws, and there are people who adhere to the religion. So, is it obligatory to emigrate from it?
Answer:
If you are able, if you are able to emigrate, it is obligatory for you. But if you are not able,[Al-Baqarah 2:286] [An-Nisa 4:98], [An-Nisa 4:99], then the one who is able to emigrate must do so, and the one who is not able is excused, but only if he holds fast to his religion. Yes.

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَاExcept for the oppressed among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan nor are they directed to a way -
إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًاFor those it is expected that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.
فَأُولَٰئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا
